00:04:00 Your breakfast, sir.
00:09:52 Thanks! How'd you like a stump up your ass?
00:13:22 We're lucky to have him managing our firm.
00:16:38 - Excuse me. - Watch out. He probably has a weapon.
00:19:48 - The usual amount. - Why not?
00:23:14 I had to keep him under surveillance.
00:27:52 This is a practical joke, right, brother?
00:31:13 Beautiful. I suppose you'll give me this TV set for free?
00:36:12 One of our operatives witnessed the theft.
00:40:38 Yeah.
00:45:04 Good night, Coleman. Thanks, man.
00:49:19 It was a joke. Your friend said it would get you off.

01:32:50 - Who is that? - Open the door, man.
01:37:15 It's New Year's. Let 'em have their fun.
01:43:34 We wait until he drives the price up?
01:50:08 I'm sorry, boys. Put the Duke brothers' seats on the exchange up for sale at once.
