Thief (Michael Mann, 1981)

From Thief, 1981

Thief (1981) dir. Michael Mann

I have run out of time. I have lost it all. So I can’t work fast enough to catch up. I can’t run fast enough to catch up. And the only thing that catches me up is doing my magic act.
Thief (1981) dir. Michael Mann

So you know what happens? Nothin’. I mean, nothin’ happens. ‘Cause I don’t mean nothin’ to myself. I don’t care about me. I don’t care about… nothin’, you know? Then I know from that day that I survive, because I achieved that mental attitude.

Thief (1981) dir. Michael Mann

“I change cars like some guys change their fucking shoes.”
