Quote #4

WADE: Well, look, I don't want to cut you out of the loop, but this here's a good deal. I assume, if you're not interested, you won't mind if we move on it. Independently.

It's hard to say what Wade should've done in this case. Technically, he's offering to give Jerry a certain amount of money, but it's not enough and it might not be in proportion to what Jerry actually did by bringing the investment to his attention. Wade doesn't realize that he's effectively dooming himself and his family, causing Jerry to move forward with the kidnapping plan.

Quote #5

CARL: Jesus. Well, it doesn't matter. I got the money. All of it. All eighty grand.

Carl's lying to Gaear. In reality, he found a million dollars in Wade's suitcase and hid it in the snow. "Well, it doesn't matter," is Carl's comment about Jean's murder. It doesn't matter because they don't need a live Jean to collect the ransom anymore. She's no longer necessary.

Quote #6

CARL: How the f*** do you split a car, ya dummy? With a f***in' chainsaw?

GAEAR: One of us pays the other for half.

Gaear kills Carl after this argument over a car because Carl flips out and escalates the argument. But Carl just stolea million dollars. The car should've been a non-issue at that point, ya' think? Greed has totally taken over.
