Pote: Let me take him tonight.
Teresa: No, we’ll find a way.
Pote: We might not have a choice. I think we just kicked the hornet’s nest with this cabron.
Tony: I’m making my own graphic novel.
Pote: Whatever you do don’t call it a comic book. He goes crazy.
Look, Teresita, Kelly Anne saved Tony’s life. She could have stayed dead but she took a risk because she knew Tony was in trouble. I’m not defending her, I’m just letting you know what happened.
Pote
This is my town. A sparrow doesn’t fall from a tree without my knowledge.
Lafayette
I don’t think you realize where you is. This ain’t old Mexico. Hell, this ain’t even America. This here, this is New Orleans and we’ve got our own way to do things down here.
Bouche
Teresa: [to Pote]: This is your house. It’s not up to me if she stays or goes. She’s your guest.
Teresa: Listen, I know you have every reason to walk away after what happened. I’m glad you’re still here.
Birdie: Well, every bar that I ever worked in my bosses have always been men. I knew what I was to them, eye candy, nothing more, even as I built up their business. I don’t know, you’re different and I believe in what this bar could be. So, that other stuff, that’s your business.
Pote: It was Cortez. He paid them before he got killed.
Kelly Anne: But if he’s dead why’d they come after you?
Pote: He got paid. It’s like a bullet leaving the chamber, you can never take it back.
George: You did good today. Held your water. That ain’t no easy thing staring down the barrel of a gun.
Birdie: Yeah, well, my father ran numbers in the French Quarter. He used to use me as a runner so I think the first time someone put a gun to my face I couldn’t have been more than nine.
George: Whoa, Jesus.
Birdie: So this is not the first time but it is the first time someone’s offered to take a bullet for me.
George: Just how my Mama raised me.
Birdie: Don’t do that.
George: What?
Birdie: You don’t have to be on all the time, I mean, not with me.
George: My coping mechanism.
Birdie: Okay, I think I’ve got a better one.
Kelly Anne: Teresa doesn’t know I’m alive, obviously, right?
Pote: Not yet.
Kelly Anne: Do you think she’s still going to want me dead?
Pote: I don’t know.
Kelly Anne: If she does, she’s going to ask you to do it. I won’t hold it against you. Honestly, I rather you than anyone else ‘cause I know you’ll make it quick.
George: If you gotta kill someone, you kill me. She’s a civilian, she’s got nothing to do with this.
Raoul: How brave. But I’m a man of my word. If it’s any consolation I’ll kill you first so you don’t watch her die.
Birdie: (Spits at Raoul) I hope your nephew's dead and Teresa sends you to join him.
Raoul: Okay, you first.
Two armed Latinos driving a truck to Miami, I’ve never been on this end of the profiling but you and I both know that means one thing.
