Quotes 

• Brendan Lynch : In game three of the most famous chess tournament in history between Bobby Fisher and Boris Spassky Bobby played an opening move he'd never played before. It means "Son of Sorrow". If you commit to this, there's no going back. If you play this opening, you're saying, "I'm not interested in a draw. A draw can't help me". This is all or nothing. This is a fight to the death.

• Brendan Lynch : If you want to take action, then make it count. No half measures.

• Brendan Lynch : I can sort this for you. But then, I'm going to need your help on the outside.

  JR : To do what?

  Brendan Lynch : What do you think? I'm looking at twenty years without parole in this shit hole. Twenty-five once I sort your wee problem.

• Brendan Lynch : I'm no one. You got it? In here, we're all no one.

• Sam Lennox : You said yourself, you might as well be hung for a sheep as for a goat.

  Brendan Lynch : No, I said "If you're gonna be hung for stealing the sheep you might as well fuck it as well."

• Dave : Brendan, this is none of your fucking business.

  Brendan Lynch : The business model has changed, Dave.
