- I don't know. Who?

- Not many people. His partner, if he's got one. Guy who owes him money, fellow he had an argument with. Maybe his wife.

- You see, it's easy for the cops. They've only got 4 or 5 people to look for. 4 or 5 people who have got a motive. But any one of them might want to see him dead.

- That's where we come in. We service these people with a killer who's got no motive.

- He won't even know the guy, so how can the cops find him?

Top rated lines from this movie

You think you can shut people up by killing them, but you're wrong. Even the dead can talk.

Don't ever say that. A murder's a contract. The hit is the sucker that gets killed. Remember those words and use them. Then, even if the cops tap a phone, they don't know what you're talking about. Got that? -Yes, sir.

If you're smart, you can be a hero. If you're dumb, you can be dead.

Who's the man you delivered the bodies to? -The undertaker. -What undertaker? -Our undertaker. He worked for us exclusive.

Who calls him on the phone? -If you're a good swimmer, you can ask the guy who found out. He's at the bottom of the river.
