Harold Young Quotes in Charley Varrick (1973)

Maynard Boyle: You need a rest, Harold. A long trip to someplace quiet. Another name, another country.

Harold Young: I can't start my life over again now.

Maynard Boyle: You don't have much choice, Harold. They're gonna try to make you tell where the money is. You know what kind of people they are. They're gonna strip you naked and go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

Maynard Boyle: You know something, Harold? I never thought I'd be willing to change places with a cow.

Harold Young: A cow?

Maynard Boyle: Those things out there. They are cows, aren't they?

Harold Young: I don't understand the thrust of your comment.

Maynard Boyle: Take a look at them out there. I mean, they got it knocked. What's the worst thing in the world that could possibly happen to them? A short circuit in the electric milker. Compared to what I'm facing, that's child's play.

Maynard Boyle: It's our mafia friends who won't understand. They're gonna wonder why you led them straight to the vault with the money in it, instead of the empty vault in the rear. And frankly, Harold, why did you do that?

Harold Young: Do you know what would have happened if I'd taken those people to an empty vault?

Maynard Boyle: Number one, the money would have been saved, number two there'd be no question of an inside job.

Harold Young: Inside job?

Maynard Boyle: That's the way their diseased minds work. A bank gets it, bang, they look for a double-cross.

Harold Young: Why couldn't it be just a coincidence?

Maynard Boyle: Because they don't believe in coincidence!
