Yves Perret Quotes in Tango & Cash (1989)

Yves Perret: Rats in a maze, men in a cage.

[watching TV footage of Tango in action]

Yves Perret: Oh, God. Ray Tango. How he loves to dance. He waltzes in and takes all my drugs, then tangos back out again.

Yves Perret: Ah, the infamous Cash and Tango. Dishonored. Imprisoned. Such a shameful fall from glory.

Ray Tango: And who are you?

Yves Perret: Just think of me as somebody who doesn't like you very much.

Yves Perret: Quicker... and easier. Yes, quick and easy is how you make a cake. Or clean a toilet bowl, or shop... by mail. But quicker and easier is not how you run a multi-million dollar business such as ours.

Yves Perret: When the one Great Scorer comes to write against your name, he'll mark... not that you won or lost... but how you played the game. What bullshit!

Yves Perret: There you go thinking again. That will be the cause of your downfall. Try... try to control your fear. These men are convicted killers and fugitives. They won't last long on the outside.

Lopez: Mr. Perret, we cannot rely on the police. I insist...

Yves Perret: Don't insist! Insistent people make me angry. Everything is under control.

[Slams remote]

Yves Perret: [to Requin] Cover your tracks.

Yves Perret: Oh, I've had enough of this. Too much television... can hurt your eyes.
