Butcher, Con Quotes in An Innocent Man (1989)

Butcher, Con: You gotta deal with that situation, or else everybody in here's gonna know you're a punk. Everybody, you understand?

Jimmie Rainwood: No, I don't understand. What am I supposed to do, fight three guys?

Butcher, Con: No, just one. Jingles, the one that braced you. Fist fights are for free men. You gotta get a piece and make a move.

Jimmie Rainwood: What are you talking about?

Butcher, Con: Do him.

Jimmie Rainwood: You're telling me I should kill him?

Butcher, Con: No, I want you to marry his motherfuckin' sister. You better get with the program, slick.

Jimmie Rainwood: I'm not gonna kill a man over some toothpaste and some soap.

Butcher, Con: If you don't off that buck, he and his partners are gonna make you their kid. They're gonna have you running errands, doing whatever. Hell, they might even make you real pretty. You ain't gotta stand tall in here... but you've got to stand up.

Butcher, Con: [Jimmie is walking with Virgil in exercise yard after pickup basketball game ends... they pass Butcher and his gang] That's your fuckin' shot, Rainwood.

Jimmie Rainwood: Hey Butcher-man, you still listen to those weight loss tapes?

Butcher, Con: [shakes head] Asshole.

Jimmie Rainwood: [to Virgil] They oughta wire the man's jaw shut.

[Virgil laughs]
