Movie: Heat
Language: English
Year: 1995
Director: Michael Mann
Why it's Key: This is
the only scene where you can see Pacino and De Niro together in the entire
movie. Michael Mann's stupendous display of screenwriting can be seen in this
commendable scene.
Key Scene: It is
essentially a conversation between two men who seem to exist only in each
others' universe. They discuss the discipline of their chosen professions and
reflect on their ultimate intentions while having coffee. Although they come
from the opposite sides of the law, they are civilized amidst the chaos that
has, and is about to ensue. Excellent display of war of wits by the characters
is shown by the use of incisive dialogue. They go so far as to kindly let the
other know that when times comes, neither of them will hesitate to let instinct
take over and do what they think has to be done.

Line:
Neil (Robert
Di Niro): "I do what I do best, I take scores.
You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me."
