Barney Ross: Why is it the ones who deserve to live, that want to live the most, die - and the ones that don't deserve to live, keep on going?
Barney Ross: That's how we deal with death. Can't change what it is so, we keep it light until it's time to get dark... and then we get pitch black. (00:53:55)
Trench: My shoe is bigger than this car!
Barney Ross: I heard you were bitten by a king cobra?
Booker: That's right. But after five days of excruciating pain... The cobra died.
Lee Christmas: What's the plan?
Barney Ross: Track 'em, find 'em, kill 'em.
Lee Christmas: I now pronounce you man and knife.
Hale Caesar: If I don't get this back, your ass is terminated!
Jean Vilain: Six pounds of pure plutonium is powerful enough to change the balance of the world. Imagine what five tons will do.
Answer: "We keep it light" refers to their mood. They joke around and tease each other and have fun. "Till we go dark" is when they get serious for killing. "We go pitch black." Meaning as dark and brutal killing machines as possible.
