Damon Pope quotes from Sons of Anarchy

Damon Pope

I just got a call from the military arm of the Galindo drug cartel wanting me to sit down with Jax Teller. Do you know how hard I have worked to distance myself from that element? Your need for 'street cred' is making my life...difficult. It stops now.

Pope

[To a chained up Tig in a train yard who can't reach his captive daughter Dawn] Know my pain, Mr. Trager. [throws his lit cigar into the pit Dawn's in igniting the spilled fuel]

Tig

[Screaming as his daughter catches on fire] Oh, baby Oh, no! No!

Pope

Sounds like everything went according to plan.

Jax

There's a new plan. I just watched my best friend get beaten to death for you. Now, I'm going to get the club to sign off on your cash. But I need Traeger outside. Him knowing I saved his life gives me an internal advantage I'm going to need. And when I'm done, you can send him out the same way you did his kid, 'cause I really don't give a shit.

Pope

[smiles] There you go, finding a hidden advantage in an unfortunate circumstance; using pain to take you to the next level. Those are the things that turn players into kings.

Jax

This sheriff already thinks these attacks are connected to us. After this, he's gonna have gang task force up our ass. Complicates everything.

Pope

None of these attacks are coming out of my camp. I know that for sure.

Jax

Then I need your help finding out who it is. I need a name and I need a 20.'Cause I got to shut this sh1t down.

Pope

I'll see what I can find out.

Jax

50.Half of our last mule.

Pope

You're an impressive young man.

Jax

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Pope

I got a proposal for you and SAMCRO.

Jax

Does it involve children and bonfires?

Pope

You are currently hauling back 20, 30 keys?

Jax

30.

Pope

If you were to double your haul-back, say 60 keys, I could move half of that in a day.

Jax

Where?

Pope

Reno, parts of Vegas. I'd have the Niners distribute.No bigger risk for you.30, 40, 100 keys, it's all the same trafficking charge.

Jax

What's in it for us?

Pope

I pay you another 100 on top of what the cartel gives you. We don't take a bite out of any of it.

Jax

I don't know. My crew wants out of the drug game.

Pope

What do you want? Listen, you talk to the cartel, run it past your club. In the interim, I'll arrange a sit-down with the Mayans, Lin and the Niners. If you decide it makes sense for SAMCRO, you take the meeting, bring everybody up to speed. If you pass on the deal, we keep things as is. Fair enough?

Jax

Yeah, Okay.

Pope

I'll also kick back two percent of my profits on the 30 keys to you. Gentlemen's agreement, just between us.

Jax

You make millions in real estate and other legit trade. Why do you still risk this shit? Is it the rush?

Pope

I'm just a businessman, son. My most profitable and most reliable business is narcotics. Always has been. I learned how to do it the right way. With the right people, there is no risk. You let me know.

Pope

[Staring down the barrel of a gun] You stupid cracker bitch.YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO WHOEVER KILLS ME? RIGHT?!

Jax

I'm counting on it.
