Jackie Brown, at twenty-six, with no expression on his face, said that he could get some guns. "I can get your pieces probably by tomorrow night. I can get you, probably, six pieces. Tomorrow night. In a week or so, maybe ten days, another dozen. I got a guy coming in with at least ten of them but I already talk to another guy about four of them and he's, you know, expecting them. He's got something to do. So, six tomorrow night. Another dozen in a week."

Excellent book and very good movie with Robert Mitchum.
Vince,
You're right. I read it years ago and saw the book. Just picked up a copy the other day and will re-read it.
Casting Mitchum was a wise move.
Michael
