Larkin Quotes:

  • Larkin: [while in the US Marshalls office] Contingency plans for something like this don't exist! A situation like this has never been contemplated.

    Duncan Malloy: Well, you better start contemplating, because this is a situation that needs to get UN-FUCKED, RIGHT NOW!

  • Local cop: [over the phone] We got a problem here with a corpse.

    Larkin: [over the phone, Casey and Tricia in his office] Uh-huh.

    Local cop: Yeah, it fell outta the sky. I don't think he's an astronaut.

    Larkin: What's this got to do with me?

    Local cop: It's got your name written all over it.

  • Larkin: [tosses a folder onto a table while in the US Marshalls office] Here's the jacket on Cameron Poe. His wife's on the way here now. A U.S. Ranger, highly decorated. Did a litte hellraising when he was a kid, but nothing serious.

    Duncan Malloy: Explain to me why any of this matters.

    Larkin: Fact 1: we've got a plane up there filled with killers, rapists, and thieves and we've got this guy Cameron Poe: in on an involuntary manslaughter beef, non-gang affiliated. He's a parolee hitching a ride home. Fact 2: Poe has a chance to get off the plane, doesn't do it. Why? Fact 3: our guard Falzon said a convict named Cameron Poe planted Sims's tape recorder on him.

    [brightens]

    Larkin: These are interesting facts. You do the math on this... and we got an ally on that plane.

  • Larkin: [while in surveillance truck] Nathan Jones, A.K.A. Diamond Dog. Former general of the Black Guerillas. He blew up a meeting of the National Rifle Association saying, and I quote, "They represented the basest negativity of the white race." He wrote a book in prison called, "Reflections in a Diamond Eye." New York Times called it a wakeup call for the black community. They're talking to Denzel for the movie.

  • Larkin: [while in the surveillance truck] Well, we told you today's flight would be special. That's William Bedford, aka "Billy Bedlam."

    Agent Sims: The mass murderer?

    Larkin: The same. He caught his wife in bed with another man. Left her alone, drove four towns over to his wife's family's house. Killed her parents, her brothers, her sisters, even her dog.

  • Cameron Poe: [on why he's going back to the plane while in the private jet hanger] I can't trade a friend's life for my own, Larkin, that's all.

    Larkin: You got a friend on board? See, I knew I was right about you.

  • Mason: Ah, coming to touch greatness again?

    Larkin: No. I came to see the man who spoke of greatness but never understood what it meant.

    Mason: That hurts my feelings.
