Clip 1

The relationship between Cates and Hammond is off to a rocky start. Largely because Cates is acting like a sh*thead and Hammond won't tolerate it.

Hammond

Is this your car, man?

Cates

Yeah.

Hammond

It looks like you bought it off one of the brothers.

Cates

All right... I did my part and I got you out, so now you do yours. Where we goin'?

Hammond

We're gonna go see a guy named Luther. Ganz'll be going to see him soon. We ain't got much time, though.

Cates

Is Luther part of the gang?

Hammond

What gang you talkin' about, Jack?

Cates

Hey! I can read a police file, sh*thead. And quite callin' me Jack.

Hammond

It's just an expression, all right? I don't mean nothin' by it.

Cates

I don't give a damn. It happens to be my name.

Hammond

The hell you complainin' for? Least nobody callin' you "sh*thead."

Cates

I may call you worse than that.

Clip 2

Stake-outs are never easy. But they're especially difficult when your "partner" is asking you this many personal questions about your lady.

Hammond

Yo, man. Tell me about this girlfriend of yours. When was the last time you got with her?

Cates

I don't give out details.

Hammond

Oh come on, man. I've been in prison for three years. I'm tired of hearing lies about pu**y. Man when was it... last week, the week before...

Cates

Last night.

Hammond

Really?

Cates

Yeah.

Hammond

Was it fun?

Cates

Yeah. Well... I dunno. Ah, Christ... then in the morning we got in a fu*king argument.

Hammond

At least you took care of business first, right, Jack?

Cates

Right.

Hammond

Yo, man. Does she have like big, giant titties?

Cates

I can see this is going to be a long fu*king night, convict.

Clip 3

Hmm. Hammond may think he's smoother than a cashmere slide but he's seriously out of practice when it comes to speaking to the opposite sex. Prison will do that to you, I guess.

Cates

You guys can do better than that.

[Turns to CASEY]

How 'bout you?

Casey

I haven't seen him for two weeks. And I don't think I'm gonna. He owes me money...

Cates

Sounds like a real stormy romance.

Casey

I don't care much what it sounds like to you, Cop. All I know is that I went a couple of laps around the track with him and I ended up with the short end of the stick.

Cates

C'mon...

Hammond

No, wait a minute, man. I've been in prison for three years. You know? This lady's been getting the short end of the stick. Maybe like to go a couple of laps around the track with us?

Casey

- Fu*k off!

Clip 4

Things haven't improved on the whole working relationship front. It's icy and it's awkward.

Hammond

But get this, man. We ain't brothers, we ain't partners and we ain't friends. And if Ganz gets away with my money, you're gonna be sorry you ever met me.

Cates

I'm already sorry!

Clip 5

For two people who really don't like working together, Cates and Hammond end up on an awful lot of stake outs. And it's still not improving.

Cates

Okay, now what?

Hammond

Now... you get to play cop and watch that building back there. I'm gonna get in the back seat and go to sleep.

Cates

You son of a b**ch! You knew where the money was all along. All we had to do was come here and wait. Christ, I almost got my ass shot off twice for nothin'!

Hammond

Yeah, well bein' a cop is a hard job, Jack. The building opens up at seven o'clock. Wake me up at a quarter to. I'll be back here asleep.

Cates

Sh*t!

Hammond

Jack. Tell me a story.

Cates

Fu*k you!

Hammond

Oh, that's one of my favourites.

Clip 6

Cates can never say anything nice to Hammond. It's always jibes and insults. I'm not sure why Hammond puts up with it. Oh. Yeah. Right. He has to.

Cates

That goddamned suit is yours?

Hammond

This sh*t was in style a couple of years back.

Cates

Yeah, right. If you ever switch from an armed robber to a pimp, you're all set.

Hammond

[Laughs sarcastically]
