Collateral (film)

"I am a cool guy, with a job I contracted to do."

"[after the nightclub shootout] Only thing that didn't show up is the Polish cavalry."

"Don't get me cornered. You don't have the trunk space."

"If you open that trunk, they go inside."

"Yo, homie. Is that my briefcase?"

"[after Max crashes the cab] Well, that was brilliant..."

"[after Max destroys his briefcase] All my prep was in there! You are screwing with my work! Let's see what else you can do."

"Max, I do this for a living!"

"You attract attention, you're going to get people killed who didn't need to be."

"Most people, ten years from now, same job, same place, same routine. Everything the same. Just keeping it safe over and over and over. Ten years from now. Man, you don’t know where you’ll be ten minutes from now . . ."

"[aims a handgun at Max] Red light, Max."

"Get with it. Millions of galaxies of hundreds of millions of stars, and a speck on one in a blink. That's us, lost in space. The cop, you, me... Who notices?"

"[Mockingly] "Someday, someday my dream will come?" One night you'll wake up and you'll discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you, and it never will. Suddenly you are old. It didn't happen, and it never will because you were never going to do it anyway. You'll push it into memory, then zone out in your barcalounger, being hypnotized by daytime TV for the rest of your life. Don't you talk to me about murder. All it ever took was a down payment on a Lincoln Town Car, and that girl... you can't even call that girl. What the fuck are you still doing driving a cab?"

"Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices."

"Hey, Max, a guy gets on the MTA here in L.A. and dies. Think anybody will notice?"

"There's no good reason, there's no bad reason to live or to die."

"[about Vincent] Definitely not from around here."

"[after seeing the guy fall on his cab's roof] My man, you all right?"

"[right before he crashes the cab, to Vincent] Go fuck yourself."

"That's why I tossed the list -- the work ups, all of that shit. To protect, in part, your... Hermes, Facconable ass. What, do you think I like coming in here? But hey. Shit happens. Gotta roll with it. Adapt. Darwin, I Ching."

"I'm not Vincent, my name is Max! I'm a goddamn cab driver!"

"If I'm wrong you get an apology, I already used up my free ride for tonight."

"Airport Man / Frank Martin: Enjoy L.A."

"Daniel: I mean, everybody and their momma knew you don't just come up and talk to Miles Davis. I mean, he may have looked like he was chilling, but he was absorbed. This one hip couple, one of them tried to shake his hand one day. And the guy says, "Hi, my name is..." Miles said, "Get the fuck outta my face, you jive motherfucker, and take your silly bitch with you.""
