Castor Troy : [knowing Eve is not being honest with him] Lies, deceit, mixed messages... this is turning into a real marriage.
-
Castor Troy : [during the shootout at the apartment] I don't know what I hate wearing worse: your face or your body. I mean I enjoy *boning* your wife, but let's face it, we both like it better the other way, yes? So why don't we trade back.
Sean Archer : You can't give back what you've taken from me.
Castor Troy : OK, then... plan B, why don't we just kill each other?

Castor Troy : [as Sean Archer] Yeah, well, shit happens.
-
Sean Archer : [as Castor Troy] This is between us. Leave them out of it.
Castor Troy : [as Sean Archer] No. You should have left them out of it. Your son was an accident. I wanted to kill you. But, you took it too personally. Why couldn't you just kill yourself or let it go?
Sean Archer : [as Castor Troy] No father could.
Castor Troy : [as Sean Archer] No brother could either.
Sasha Hassler : [coming in] Neither could a sister.

[cocks his head]
Castor Troy : It's like looking in a mirror, only not.
Sean Archer : Troy?
Castor Troy : Now that is between us. OK?
Sean Archer : But you were, were, uh...
Castor Troy : In a coma? Nothing like having your face cut off to disturb your sleep! Read the newspaper lately?
[shows him a newspaper article headlined "Deadly Inferno at Walsh Institute"]
Sean Archer : You killed them?
Castor Troy : Yeah well, beats paying the bill, huh? I mean, come on, uh, if a face lift costs five grand...
[shows Archer's wedding ring on his hand]
Castor Troy : ... SEE ANYTHING YOU LIKE?
[Cut to a shot of Miller, Dr. Walsh, and Tito, all bound and gagged, being doused with gasoline]
Sean Archer : [feeling a lump forming in his throat] Tito!
[In flashback, a hand drops a lit cigarette in a puddle of gasoline that quickly spreads towards the captives]
Castor Troy : I torched all the evidence that proves you're you, okay? So, wow! Looks like you're going to be in here for THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS! Now, I have got to go. I've got a government job to abuse and a lonely wife to fuck! Whoops did I just say that? I'm sorry... make love to! God, I miss that face!
Sean Archer : [throws his hands around Castor's neck and tries to strangle him] DIIIIIIE! DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!
-
Castor Troy : [Both have each other at gun point after a shoot out in an airplane hanger] Wow. We have something in common. We both know our guns.
Sean Archer : What we don't have in common, is that I don't care if I live, and you do.
Castor Troy : Sean, that hurts. You're not having any fun, are you, Sean? Why don't you join us? Try terrorism-for-hire, we can blow shit up, it's more FUN!
Sean Archer : Shut the fuck up!
Castor Troy : You watch your FUCKIN' MOUTH! I'm about to unleash the biblical plague "Hell-A" deserves. But I'll give this SHITHOLE a break if my brother and I walk.
Sean Archer : [Not believing what troy is saying] Bullshit.
Castor Troy : Oh, no? Oh, you think I'm bluffing, oh yeah. Maybe I am. But then maybe I'm NOT! Besides, what are you gonna do with me locked up? You'll drive your wife and kid crazy. Oh by the way, how is your daughter, Janie? Your darling peach, is she ripe yet...
[Making barking noises and pulls the trigger on the gun and realizes that he is out of bullets, and falls to his knees]
Castor Troy : [Feigning fear] Okay. O-okay. Policeman. Please don't shoot me. I'm scared, Seanie!
[gets a knife]
Castor Troy : Well, I think you better pull the trigger, because I don't give a FUCK!
[singing]
Castor Troy : I'm ready, ready for the big ride, BABY!
-
Sean Archer : [as he walks out of his office] Any word from the LAPD intelligence? If there IS such a thing?
Loomis : Not yet, sir.
Sean Archer : Of course not, because we're a covert anti-terrorist team that is so secret, that when we snap our fingers NOTHING HAPPENS!

Wanda : It hasn't been recovered yet.
Castor Troy : IT HASN'T BEEN *RECOVERED YET*? *Get the LAPD on this!*

Castor Troy : [cutting his face with glass shard] You are right, Sean. I misbehaved. I have to be punished. But remember... Every time when you look in the mirror, you'll see my face.
