    Freys is really good at handling complex relationships. Just like the previous Dangerous Liasions, the script is very skillful, a few lines are messy but not chaotic.

The Grifters quotes

  • Lilly Dillon: You're working some angle, and don't tell me you're not because I wrote the book!

    Roy Dillon: What about you? You still handling playback money for the mob?

    Lilly Dillon: THAT's me. That's who I am. You were never cut out for the rackets, Roy.

    Roy Dillon: How come?

    Lilly Dillon: You aren't tough enough.

    Roy Dillon: Not as tough as you, huh?

    Lilly Dillon: Get off the grift, Roy.

    Roy Dillon: Why?

    Lilly Dillon: You haven't got the stomach for it.

  • Lilly Dillon: I was hoping we could play it straight with one another.

    Roy Dillon: I guess not.

    Lilly Dillon: I guess you won't be getting a straight job, either.

    Roy Dillon: Not this week.

    Lilly Dillon: Not ever.

    Roy Dillon: It's up to me. I'm strictly short con. It's nothing but small time stuff. I can walk away from it anytime I want.

    Lilly Dillon: Where have I heard that before?

    Roy Dillon: Yeah, but I'm in control.

    Lilly Dillon: Sure. You're only 25 years old, already you can lay down four grand without even turning a hair. Grift's like anything else, Roy. You don't stand still. You either go up or down. Usually down, sooner or later.

    Roy Dillon: Well, I'll let it be a surprise, then.
