Keep calm, don't kill anybody and wait.
Inside Quentin Tarentino Reservoir dogs, Harvey Keitel (Mr. White) and Steve Buscemi (Mr. Pink) are speaking together, waiting for their robbery fellows:
- We're gonna stick around and we're gonna wait.
- What for? The cops?
- No. Nice Guy Eddie.
- Nice Guy Eddie? What makes you think he isn't on a plane halfway to Costa Rica?
- Because I spoke to him on the phone and he said he's on the way down here.
- You talked to Nice Guy Eddie? Why didn't you say that in the first place?
- 'Cause you never asked me.
- Hardy-fuckin'-har.
- What'd he say?
- He said stay put.
