"I made a mistake." "Ok, that was pretty scary." "And a little bit rude." "So, I wanna make it up to us." "Why don't you just let Mr. Kerensky go?" "Oh, but we went through so much trouble to find him." "You!" "Oh, do I have a bone to pick with you!" "You lied to me." "And, I'm no expert on your particular business model." "But, do you even own this warehouse?" "Beat them to death." "The building is surrounded." "Come out with your hands up!" "Repeat, the building is surrounded." "Come out with your hands up!" ""How weird, is that the right botton?"" ""Oh Jeez, I hope this thing recorded."" ""You think I'm gorgeous, you wanna kiss me"." "Go!" "Go!" "Ok, Nikolaj, give me that baby-seat." "Oh, God!"

"I've got a 2.30 with a client." "Nicer, nicer." "Oh, hey, Ron!" "I was just there to knot and get ready for the meeting." "Oh, you know what?" "We've changed the plans." "Up in!" "Ron this is Nikolaj and Simon, Ron manufactures pallets and Nikolaj is on the run from the Russian mob." "Is this a good time, Andy?" "Well, as good as any." "Oh, ok." "As you know I've got a bunch of money and a roll of IRA." "Great!" "Because you can't get at those until you are 59." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "That's the problem." "See, it's my daugther wishness..." "I really need to..." "Ok, that's what we do." "We just put the IRA into two funds." "The smaller will pay for college over the next five years until you're 59 and a half" "You still have to pay tax." "But there's no penalty." "You know what else I'm liking these days?" "Unesco box."
