  • "You killed her on film. Now you're fucked. You're ALL fucked."
  • Welles escaping by shooting his chains after loading a gun while Dino and Longdale are busy killing each other, then stabbing/kicking Machine and holding Eddie at gunpoint is a truly badass moment of the underdog very much gaining the upper hand.
  • Welles has one of the guys involved in the film tied up and at gunpoint. Mr. Smug Snake baddie points out that Welles' can't kill him with said gun, as it's registered in his name. So Welles pistol-whips the bastard to death with it.
  • "You dance with the devil, the devil don't change. Devil changes you."
  • The final confrontation between Welles and Machine, where the film brings up the possibility of a Freudian Excuse... and then dashes it against the floor, forcing Welles (and the viewer) to face a simple fact: some people will do terrible things because they can't think of a reason not to.
