Backdraft (film)

"How do you do it, man? How do you manage to keep coming up with new and amazing ways to fuck up? I mean, that Scotch bullshit? Am I really supposed to believe you came crawlin' home because you felt heartstrings moan for the family biz? You were bankrupt, man! The scary thing is, you probably coulda got away with it for awhile."

"One case of scotch, Brian? Man, you're getting cheap in your old age!"

"You go, we go."

"I told you to stay right be-fucking-side me, Brian!"

"Well, I thinks its union bylaw that if you get your picture in the paper, even if it's bullshit, that you gotta buy the whole company a drink."

"The only problem is that in this job is there's just no place to hide. It's not like having a bad day selling log cabins. You have a bad day here and somebody dies... and that's just not fucking good enough."

"You're doin it wrong."

"Look at him. That's my brother, Goddamn it."

"I'm not gonna quit, Stephen. You hear me?"

"Jesus, Stevie, you never know when to quit, do you? Do you ever wonder why you're stuck a fucking lieutenant for life?"

"[Rimgale and Brian crash Alderman Swayzak's press conference] These detectives would like to question you on how come you paid Donald Cosgrove, Jeffrey Holcomb and Alan Seagrave to create a phony manpower study! Ask him who made money off firemen dying!"

"Ricco, Pathologist: [to Brian about picking up the burned body] Jesus Christ! He's not going to sell you insurance, pick him up!"

"Ronald Bartel: The funny thing about firemen is... Night and day they are always firemen."

"Silently behind a door, it waits."

"One breath of oxygen and it explodes in a deadly rage."

"In that instant it can create a hero... or cover a secret."
