The good thing about the Altar Boys is that they’re crazy. The bad thing about the Altar Boys is that they’re crazy.

Danny doesn’t love his life, but it’s life and who said you were ever going to like it anyway? He isn’t in a cell or a grave, he isn’t killing anybody or getting killed, and maybe that’s all you can ask for in this world.

A criminal thinks that if you offer him $200K for doing nothing, you must have a lot more money to spend, so he should stick around and tap into the main source. The criminal gets almost insulted that you’re offering him chump change for doing nothing. He truly feels that he deserves a lot more for doing nothing.
