Embracing the Chaos: A Conversation with the Cast of 'The Salton Sea' Page #5

---

Have you ever seen

Queen Elizabeth sleep?

No. What, is she a tweeker?

Yes, that's my point.

Get ready, gentlemen!

- Zapruder?

- Ready.

And rolling.

Oswald!

Ready!

- Grassy Knoll?

- Ready.

- And the undeniable Third Shooter?

- Good to go.

Okay, gentlemen, here we go.

Jesus, look, here comes

the president now!

That's the president of the United

States, ladies and gentlemen.

Here he comes, waving to the crowd.

Look at the first lady.

She's looking radiant as ever. Lovely.

As they turn the corner

into Dealey Plaza.

Here we go, gentlemen.

Get ready.

Get ready!

Steady.

Steady!

Fire! Fire!

That's shooting.

Got a feeling there's a proposition

looming here, Danny-boy!

I got a guy, reliable,

wants to buy a quarter's worth.

Crank, huh?

- No, glass. The good stuff.

- Glass.

Can you handle that?

Can we talk price?

Make me an offer.

Have a taste of this.

- No, I'm good.

- It's delicious. Have a taste.

I'm telling you, it's good.

Have a taste. Come on.

- Fantastic.

- Secret recipe.

How about 14,000 a kilo?

I only deal in U.S. pounds.

None of that f*ggot metric crap.

That's around 40 pounds for...

...6000 a pound.

Okay.

We got a deal.

Anything for a dear friend.

If you say so.

I don't mean to be rude but I don't

think you're taking me seriously.

It's you who's not taking me serious.

I'm just here to do a deal.

I welcomed you here

with open arms. I did.

You're sitting here like some used

car salesman trying to lowball me.

I'm not.

I'll tell you about the last guy

who tried to jam me up.

- I'm not.

- I love this goddamn story.

This dude shorted me $11. Thought I

wouldn't count it before I went home.

He was wrong.

You know what I did?

I put his head in a vise.

He's screaming.

You should have heard it.

I cut this guy's skull open

with a hacksaw.

I was staring at this boy's brain.

I was thinking,

he doesn't need this thing.

Anyone stupid enough

to try to jam me up...

...must not have much use

for his brain.

So I took it.

I did. I keep it in the freezer.

Every once in a while,

I cut off a slice...

...and mix it up with my dinner.

Or my breakfast.

Ten thousand a pound.

Thanks for your hospitality.

Hang on. Nine thousand,

take it or leave it.

I'll leave it.

Eight's as high as I can go.

All right. Eight's good.

Eight sounds good, Danny-boy.

It's where I was going. It's my lucky

number. Looks like we got a deal.

You know, you got a lot of nerve.

You got a lot of nerve.

Pooh-Bear likes that in a young man.

Hey, hang on a second!

Wanna stay for lunch?

I got your ass! I'm a dog!

Look at this:

I'm a f***ing dog!

Sh*t!

- Can I ask you a question?
