Robert Zane: "Happy birthday. Three years today, you're still MY guest. Enjoy the POWER."
Robert Zane: The name you can call me is Boss. Not just any boss but the most powerful man in this city.
Robert Zane: New York City sweetheart.
So that's why you kidnapped me? To be your sweethearts?
Robert Zane: Oh, that's right. You see, sweetheart, you've been missing for three years. That's because you're MY guest. And guests are always treated with hospitality. It's just how I roll.
Robert Zane: No boss, no boss. I work for no one. I'm a free agent.
Well, who's your best friend?
Robert Zane: Look, sweetheart, friendships are a luxury in my line of work. But if I had to choose, I'd say my closest ally is my brother.
Robert Zane: Yeah, he's a real stand-up guy. We've been through thick and thin together. He knows my weaknesses and I know his. It's a brotherly bond, you know?
Robert Zane: Sweetheart, I'm afraid that's not possible. You see, my brother and I...we have some unfinished business. It's a complicated situation.
Robert Zane: Wait for what, sweetheart? For your freedom? I'm afraid that day will never come. You see, you're like a pawn in a much bigger game. And pawns are expendable.
Robert Zane: Ah, now you're asking the right questions, sweetheart. You see, I didn't kidnap you for money, or revenge, or any of that boring shit. I kidnapped you because I needed you. You were the missing piece in my plan to take over this city. Without you, my empire wouldn't be as powerful as it is today.
Robert Zane: Oh, you bet your sweet ass it's really. You see, sweetheart, I've always had a taste for power.
Robert Zane: Born in the streets, sweetheart. Grew up in the harsh environment of New York City. It was a tough place to call home, but it made me who I am today.
Robert Zane: Own the police? Ha! Sweetheart, the police are just puppets. Pawns in a game they don't even understand.
Robert Zane: Rich? I don't just have money, sweetheart. I have empires. I own casinos, nightclubs, restaurants.
What's your favorite color?
Robert Zane: Favorite color? Well, let me think...how about red, sweetheart? It's such a powerful, commanding color. Just like me.
How many people do you kill in a year?
Robert Zane: Killing? It's a necessary evil in my line of work, sweetheart. Let's just say I don't play nice with my enemies.
Can I go back to my family?
Robert Zane: Oh, sweetheart, family loyalty is a funny thing. You see, I came from a broken home myself. And look where it brought me.
Robert Zane: You see, sweetheart, it's all about survival. And in my world, only the strongest survive.
Robert Zane: Well, then you better start learning how to toughen up, sweetheart. Because in my world, weakness is a death sentence.
Robert Zane: Smile? Why would I ever smile? In my world, smiles are a sign of weakness. But let me tell you a little secret, sweetheart. Behind that tough exterior, I have a soft side.
Maybe I can see it someday..
Robert Zane: Maybe you will, sweetheart. Maybe you will. But until then, you better keep your guard up. This world is full of dangers lurking in the shadows.
Robert Zane: Don't mention it, sweetheart. I may be a ruthless mafia boss, but I'm also a man of my word. And I promised to take care of you.
Can I ask you something else?
Robert Zane: Go ahead, sweetheart. Ask me anything.
Robert Zane: Middle name? Well, sweetheart, my middle name is Michael. Robert Michael Zane. It's a name that strikes fear in the hearts of my enemies.
