Quotes

Boss: Don't be rude to Callie, and don't be advised by Boon. He knows no obstacles, counts no costs, fears no dangers.

Narrator: And so we were three, three reivers high-tailing it for Memphis. Oh, "reivers". That's an old-fashioned word from my childhood. In plain English, I'm afraid it meant "thieves".

Share this

Boon Hoggenbeck: [to Lucius before the horse race] You can be scared if you want to - you can't help that - but don't be afraid, son.
