| Creed Quotes
On Women:
* She was smarter than me, and I hate when that happens. There was but one thing to do: seize the initiative. I played the trump card God provided: I stared directly into her cleavage.
* She was clearly insulting me or at least pretending to. Truth was, I didn’t even like her and certainly didn’t want to date her. I really just wanted to see if I could. What can I say, maybe it’s a guy thing, but she gives great soup.
* You could add up all her looks and mannerisms and never total gorgeous, but you’d get to adorable pretty quick, and that was enough for me. Hell, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
* Listen to me: model. At best she was a model hopeful, and I was nearly twice her age. We both knew what this was.
* What I remembered most about Mrs. Carmodie was she had a double-decker butt.

The shelf on her butt was wide enough to hold two cans of soda.

* You never feel the splinters on the ladder of success until you're sliding back down.
On Contract Killing:
* “I’m not her attorney. Not her judge. Not her jury. I’m not being paid to determine her innocence. I’m being paid to render justice.”
* I didn’t want to ask too many questions. Questions lead to answers, and answers lead to doubt, and doubt will ruin a good contract killer.
* Semtex is the explosive of choice for international terrorist groups. It’s cheap, odorless, readily available, has an indefinite shelf life, and slides through airport security scanners like a pair of silk panties.
* There’s always a random element to taking lives.
* “Don’t make such a fuss. This is what I do.” (Click here for free T-shirt offer)

* “I’m coming to get you, Joe.”
Random:
* I swore. Happily, it was the truth. And I was well aware that by swearing on the past I hadn’t ruled out the future.
