Top rated lines from this movie

Today, I went into the most dangerous business in the world. -What's that? -The murder business. But I'm taking the danger out of it.
Brown eyes! That's what was running through my head!
Yeah. 9:00. And listen... No guns, no cops, no tricks.

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