None of your wounds

is life threatening.

No significant damage to any

internal organs,

no artery damage.

We were only able to remove

one of the bullets though.

So you might have

a bit of trouble

getting through

airport security.

Three bullets.

You're very lucky to be alive.

Although I appreciate

the effort...

I did tell you the conditions.

You still don't believe me?

I'll give you credit

where credits due.

Certainly an ambitious little

theory you got going but...

It's still ridiculous.

It's not possible.

You saw me land on

your cab. Right?

Remember those three bullets

you put in my chest?

People fall of buildings.

People get shot, I

have heard of more

fantastic tales of

survival than that.

It's a curse. I know it is.

Okay...

Let's say for a moment

that it is a curse.

- It is.

- It's not...

but let's f***ing say

that it is.

How do we break it?

I don't know.

Oh Come on...

Come on it's clear you've got

a very vivid imagination.

You seem to know everything

about everything else.

But you got nothing for that?

Tell me what do I have to do?

Okay, a werewolf...

A werewolf will die

with a silver bullet.

Vampire's weakness... garlic!

Superman... Kryptoni-

It's not a comic book.

Look, I'm just trying

to level with you here.

No, I'm trying to understand

where the f*** it is that

you're coming from.

Because from my point of view,

your point of view is a

little f***ing Norma Desmond.

I know it's crazy but...

Look there's... there's no

other explanation for it.

There doesn't need to be an

explanation, sh*t happens,

Get that through

your f***ing head.

There's no such thing as

fate, there's no such thing

as Karma. There's certainly

no f***ing such thing...

as a curse.

Look I don't know how

else to prove it to you.

I thought everything that

happened would speak for itself.

Enough!

Enough playtime.

Okay?

We're both adults here.

The fact of the matter

is that I f***ed up.

We were on a public

train and I rushed it.

I wasn't precise with my shots.

I'm usually more thorough.

And how many times have

you done this before?

So ah...

for this to work...

you need to be happy

when I do it?

Not quite I need to be in...

um... an overall state of mind.

Where I truly and

honestly want to live.

But you said you

don't want to live.

You don't want to live, right?

That's a problem. Well that

makes it next to impossible.

I didn't say it was

going to be easy.

That's why I paid you

as much as I did.

Look...

try and get to know me.

Figure out what makes me tick.

My likes, Dislikes...

Try and figure out something

I do take joy out of.

This isn't the f***ing

make a wish foundation.
