Kevin Spacey as Verbal

• (Kevin Spacey) "Can I get some coffee?"
• (Chazz Palminteri) "In a while. Let's talk about the lineup."
• (Kevin Spacey) "I'm really thirsty. I used to dehydrate as a kid. One time it got so bad my piss came out like snot. I'm not kidding, it was all thick and gooey."

• (Kevin Spacey) "I came clean; I told it like it happened on the boat. So what if I left out how I got there. It was so full of holes the DA would have told me to blow amnesty up my ass. So you got what you wanted out of me, so big f***ing deal."
• (Chazz Palminteri) "So that's why you never told the DA."
• (Kevin Spacey) "You tell me, Agent Kujan, if I told you the Loch Ness Monster hired me to hit the harbor, what would you say?"
• (Chazz Palminteri) "Turn state's evidence; we'll put you on the stand. We'll hear it out."
• (Kevin Spacey) "I've got immunity now, what could you possibly offer me?"

• (Kevin Spacey) "Big fat guy, I mean like orca fat."

• (Kevin Spacey) "McManus came to us with the job, Fenster got the vans, Hockney supplied the hardware, I came through with how to do it so no one got killed, but Keaton -- Keaton put on the finishing touch. A little 'f*** you' from the five of us to the NYPD."

• (Kevin Spacey) "A man can convince anyone he's somebody else, but never himself."

• (Kevin Spacey) "It didn't make sense that I'd be there. I mean, these guys were hard-core hijackers, but there I was. At that point I wasn't scared, I knew I hadn't done anything they could do me for. Besides, it was fun. I got to make like I was notorious."

• (Kevin Spacey) "If I told you the Loch Ness monster hired me to hit the harbor, what would you say?"

• (Kevin Spacey) "Where's your head, Agent Kujan? Where do you think the pressure's coming from? Keyser Soze; or whatever you want to call him; he knows where I am right now. He's got the front burner under your ass to let me go so he can scoop me up ten minutes later. Immunity was just a deal with you assholes. I got a whole new problem when I post bail."
• (Chazz Palminteri) "So why play into his hands? We can protect you."
• (Kevin Spacey) "Oh, gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You'll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker. The same f***ers that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are gonna bail me out? f*** you. You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that -- my guess is you'll never hear from him again."

• (Kevin Spacey) "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"

• (Kevin Spacey) "To a cop the explanation is never that complicated. It's always simple. There's no mystery to the street, no arch criminal behind it all. If you got a dead body and you think his brother did it, you're gonna find out you're right."

• (Kevin Spacey) "After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that -- he is gone."

• (Kevin Spacey) "He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes."

• (Kevin Spacey) "Then he showed those men of will what will really was."

• (Kevin Spacey) "What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody."

• (Kevin Spacey) "Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone."

• (Kevin Spacey) "That guy is tense. Tension is a killer. I used to be in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois. The baritone was this guy named Kip Diskin, big fat guy, I mean, like, orca fat. He was so stressed in the morning --"
• (Chazz Palminteri) "Verbal, you know we're trying to help you."
• (Kevin Spacey) "Sure, and I appreciate that. And I wanna help you, Agent Kujan. I like cops. I would've liked to have been a fed myself, but my CP --"
• (Chazz Palminteri) "Verbal, you're not telling us everything. I know you know something."
• (Kevin Spacey) "I told the DA everything I know."
• (Chazz Palminteri) "Verbal, I know you like Keaton. I know you think he's a good man."
• (Kevin Spacey) "I know he was good."
• (Chazz Palminteri) "He was a corrupt cop."

• (Chazz Palminteri) "Dean Keaton was a piece of s***."
• (Kevin Spacey) "Are you trying to get a rise out of me, Agent Kujan?"

• (Gabriel Byrne) "McManus. What the f*** is going on?"
• (Stephen Baldwin) "The strangest thing --"

• (Gabriel Byrne) "Hey, uh -- friend of mine in New York tells me that you know, that you knew Spook Hollis."
