"You make zero difference. Trust and believe that. But I have a business to run and I can't let a theft like yours go unchecked. It sets a bad example for the other brazen dickheads out in the world like you."

"Listen, I don't want to argue. In fact, I'm going to be a nice guy and give you options. You see just like you, Nate took something from me a long time ago, and I never forget a debt. He owes me. So, you can either steal the seven million dollars you owe me from him or you can steal something else even more precious of his."
"What."
"His daughter."
"What?"
"Make her fall in love with you then break her."
This motherfucker is crazy.
"I'm not doing that shit."
"It's either that, my money, or your death, Mr. Barringer. Any one of those will satisfy your debt. The choice is yours."
