  Keaton : OK. We'll meet him. Good. Do that. No problem. Let's go.

  [Keaton turns around, ready to leave. McManus grabs him] 

  McManus : I don't like it, Dean. I don't like it. Wait a minute. One more thing, tough guy. Any more surprises, and I'm gonna kill you.

  Redfoot the Fence : You're such a tough guy, McManus. Do me a favour, right. Get the fuck off my dick.

• McManus : We gotta bury him.

  McManus : Dig, you fuck!

• Redfoot the Fence : You guys interested in any more work?

  McManus : We're always looking for extra work.

  Keaton : We're on vacation.

  Redfoot the Fence : Well. That's too bad. I got a ton of work and I don't have any good people. Not like you guys.

  McManus : What's the job?

  Redfoot the Fence : There's this jeweler out of Texas named Saul. He rents a suite, some downtown hotel. Does free appraisals for people, sometimes he buys, sometimes he doesn't. Anyway, the word is he carries around a lotta cash. So I figure, I keep the merchandise, you keep the green. Simple.

  Hockney : What about security?

  Redfoot the Fence : Couple of bodyguards. Nothing you couldn't handle.

  McManus : Give me time to check it out?

  Redfoot the Fence : I expect nothing less from you, man.

  McManus : Good to see you. We'll call you.

  Redfoot the Fence : Good to see you too.

  McManus : All right.

  Redfoot the Fence : Enjoy LA. Get yourself laid.

• Keaton : Hey, uh... friend of mine in New York tells me that you know, that you knew Spook Hollis.

  Redfoot the Fence : The way I hear it, you did time with old Spook. Good man, wasn't he? I used to run dope for him. Too bad he got shivved.

  Keaton : Yeah... I shivved him. Better you hear it from me now than from somebody else later.

  Redfoot the Fence : I appreciate that. But just out of curiosity, was it business or personal?

  Keaton : A bit of both.

  Redfoot the Fence : Well, like I said, you give me a call if you're interested.

  [Redfoot and his crew begin to leave. McManus walks over to Keaton] 

  McManus : Is there a problem?
