Chuck Rhoades quotes from Billions

Self-righteousness is an indulgence I cannot afford.

Time's a fickle beast. Why, a year ago, I had legions at my command while your fund was deflating like a Tijuana breast implant.

Walk away.

Bobby Axelrod

I should. But then again, what's the point of having fuck you money, if you never say, 'Fuck you'?

Excuse me, sir.

What?

You didn't clean up after your dog.

Yeah, I forgot the bag today.

Oh, I don't think so because, you know, it's not just the statutory law, it's the law of civility, man. And I've seen you before. You come out of that building, your dog craps, and you just leave it where it falls.

Why don't you mind your business?

This is my business.

Oh, you're that guy.

I am that guy.

All right, well, do you have an extra bag?

No, no. See, I used mine.

Well, I'll get it next time.

No, I think you need to get it this time.

Why don't you let it slide?

"Let it slide." That sounds simple, easy. Sure, let it slide. That's just some dog shit. But those are three devious little words. You know, if if I let your dog shit slide, then I have to be okay with this whole plaza filling up with it, which it would before we know it. Oh, then it would be on our pant legs and our shoes, and we would track it into our homes, and then our homes would smell like shit, too. It'd be easy to let it slide. You know, why don't we, uh, why don't we let petty larceny slide, too? Some kid steals five bucks from a newsstand? Who cares? Well, maybe next time he decides to steal your TV or break into your brownstone and steal your fucking wife. But what difference does it make? Because by then, we're all living in shit anyway.

Come on, man. I don't have a bag.

You have hands.

What?

Use your hands.

Or? Come on, man.

Come on, buddy. [man picks it up with his hands] There we go. Thattaboy. That's the spirit.

I'm making parlay with Eastern, and I need big wampum.

So this is where I just grab my ankles and take it?

I'll send over a vat of ass lube.

Chuck, what is the difference between 'ass lube' and regular lube?

Viscosity.

Bobby Axelrod

When I pull a deal off the table, I leave Nagasaki behind.

The only enemy more dangerous than a man with unlimited resources is one with nothing to lose. And that is what you are looking at right here.

That is tampering.

No. It's finesse.
