L.A. Stories - Part II

Some of these buildings are over twenty years old.

Come to Los Angeles!
The sun shines bright, the beaches are wide and inviting... the orange groves stretch as far as the eye can see. Life is good in Los Angeles... it's paradise on Earth.... Ha ha ha ha. That's what they tell you, anyway.


If there's one thing this last week has taught me...
It's better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it.

It's dangerous to confuse children with angels.


Seventeen million people.
This is got to be the 5th biggest economy in the world and nobody knows each other. I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies. Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices...

Esmeralda: What is your name?
Butch: Butch.
Esmeralda: What does it mean?
Butch: I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean shit.

Mr. Pink
Excuse me, Mr. Pink, but the last fucking thing you need is another cup of coffee.

Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot: Your usual table, Mr. Christopher?
Carlo Christopher: No, I'd like a good one this time.
Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot: I'm sorry, that is impossible.
Carlo Christopher: Part of the new cruelty?
Mr. Perdue, Maitre D' at L'Idiot: I'm afraid so.

Mr White, Mr Orange, Mr Blue, Mr Pink, Nice Guy Eddie.

Lara: How far can bullets go?
Daniel: They go pretty far but they usually get stuck in something and stop.
Lara: What if they don't?
Daniel: Are you thinking about that bullet that came through your window?


There are two modes of transport in Los Angeles: car and ambulance.
Visitors who wish to remain inconspicuous are advised to choose the latter.

Boy that was really exciting...
I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan aren't ya! Yeah me too. I love that guy.
My heart's beatin' so fast I'm about to have a heart attack.


Just because you are a character...

doesn't mean you have character.


You can't trust Melanie...
But you can trust Melanie to be Melanie.

I was the night
Home of the night
Clothing your eyes
From the cold and the blues and the wild

Do bullets go bad?
No, it's not like milk.
They don't have expiration date or anything.

Only in L.A.

Ordell Robbie: Is she dead, yes or no? 
Louis: Pretty much.
