Dialogue examples

What are you going to do, V? Shoot me? Kill me in cold blood? I don't think so. I'll tell you why. If you had it in you to pull that trigger, you would have done it a long time ago. If I was you, I would have killed me the minute I brought the money home. But you didn't and I know why, because you don't want to kill me. Do you, V? Do you? No, I know you don't.

Caesar / Scene 60

All my life, everyone has been telling me that when I have sex, I'm not really having sex. Not real sex. But they're wrong. I know what is and isn't sex and what you heard was definitely not sex.

Violet / Scene 12

I told you, the family doesn't want the police around. We want to take care of it ourselves and we will. I'll find him. I swear I will.

Mickey Malnano / Scene 62

Let me guess. This is where you tell me that what matters is on the inside. That inside you, there is a little dyke just like me?

Hey, Caesar! You take care of this girl, or I find out!
