JACKIE BROWN

5In dire straits: forlorn flight attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) contemplates crime.

"I've flown seven million miles and been waiting on people for almost 20 years. The best job I could get after my bust was Cabo Air, which is the worst job you can get in this industry. I make about sixteen thousand, with retirement benefits that ain't worth a damn - and now with this arrest hanging over my head, I'm scared. If I lose my job I gotta start all over again, but I got nothing to start over with. I'll be stuck with whatever I can get."
