Quote context

[...]

- But, in the morning, he's gonna want you really dead...

- So, we're gonna find a place where we can lay low until we can run this scam and split.

- Are you telling me I should hide?

- No, I'm telling you you're gonna hide. If you don't hide, they're gonna kill you.

- I'm not gonna let that happen to you. I didn't come this far with you so you could prove you ain't no punk and die.

- What they gonna put on your tombstone? 'Here lies a man, 27 years old. He died, but he ain't no punk.'

- Hey, man, that's bullshit, OK?

- You know, when you die... when you're 89, you got your children and your grandchildren around the bed, that's cool.

- It ain't cool to die at 27. I'm not gonna let you do that to yourself. And I'm not gonna let you do it to me.

- If they kill you, they'll gonna have to kill me because I'm going to kill them.
