Quotes 

• Miles Evans : For pay, I got a room at a hundred dollars a month, which you can work down to nothing if you'll help with cleaning.

  Manuel Jordan : What makes you think I need a room?

  Miles Evans : God told me. You're carrying your damn suitcase, man.

• Miles Evans : You think God talks to me? We argue maybe, but He don't participate. It's all right. I'll see Him one day. When I do, I'm gonna whip His holy ass.

• Miles Evans : You know, you could get lucky. God might decide to grade you on the curve.

  Manuel Jordan : It wouldn't matter either way.

  Miles Evans : You don't know what the hell you talking about, do you? Why be afraid of a God that you don't believe in? Oh, I know, it seems like people are making up shit so they can feel good about all the pain, all the cruelty, loss, violence, suffering, death. Famine, bigotry, small-mindedness, repression, depression, oppression. Want me to keep talking? 'Cause I can go on forever with this shit.

  Manuel Jordan : No, I get the point.

  Miles Evans : The point is: I believe in the lie. Never underestimate its power. Now, as for me, well, I'm lying through my teeth. I'll see you soon.

• Miles Evans : I don't need you to believe. I just need you to clean.

• Miles Evans : Because if you wanna help yourself try helping somebody else.

• Miles Evans : It's society who pays. They pay by not having another good man around.

• Miles Evans : You were a kid more recently than I was.

• Miles Evans : It just helps me forget.

  Manuel Jordan : Forget what?

  Miles Evans : You know, I don't remember. See, it's working.
