[doing speed with Otto] Never broke into a car, never hot-wired a car. Never broke into a truck. 'I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof, nor through inaction let the personal contents thereof come to harm.' It's what I call the Repo Code, kid!
Bud: Okay. Have a nice day, Uh, night. [to himself] Bud: Night, day, doesn't mean shit.
Otto: Bud, listen to me, you're sitting in a car worth $200,000 dollars. Look, if we turn it in, we'll split the money, 60/40, you and me. Bud: [laughs] Who gets the 60 kid? Otto: Well, I was figuring, since I found the car first, that... Bud: [Pulls out a gun] Otto: That you get it.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
Otto: What happened to your old lady? Bud: My old lady? Oh, shit, I forgot all about her. Well, she'll take the bus. She's a rock.
Bud: The guys that make it are the guys that get in their cars at any time. Get in at 3 AM, get up at 4. That's why there ain’t a repo man I know that don't take speed. Otto: Speed, huh? Bud: [snorts line of speed] Jesus Christ! Otto: [watches, grinning] He-he.
Don't care how long it takes, dildos! Repo Man's got all night, every night.
The life of a repo man is always intense.
Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em.
A repo man spends his life getting into tense situations.
Goddamn-dipshit-Rodriguez-gypsy-dildo-punks. I'll get your ass.
Tense situations, kid. You get into five or six of 'em a day, it don't mean shit anymore. I mean, I've seen men stabbed, didn't mean shit to me. I've seen guns, guns too, they don't mean shit. But that's when you gotta watch yourself.
Bud: It helps if you dress like a detective. Detectives dress kinda square. If you look like a detective people are gonna think you're packing something. Otto: Are you? Bud: Am I what? Otto: Packing something? Bud: Only an asshole gets killed for a car.
Bud: Wanna make ten bucks? Otto: Fuck you, queer.
Oly: You want some help with that beer, kid? Otto: You're all repo men. Oly: What if we are? [Otto pours his entire beer on the floor] Bud: [standing up] You know, kid, uh, usually when someone pulls shit like that, my first reaction is, I wanna punch his fuckin' lights out. But you know something?…
Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free. Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a…
