Killing Them Softly
America...
I say to the people of America...
This moment is our chance to...
Enough-
To make of our own lives
what we will. It is...
That pushes us forward.
It is that promise that's
always set this country apart.
It's a promise
that says each of us has the freedom...
to make of our own lives what we will.
You're late!
You're f***ing 3 hours late!
Don't start on me.
You couldn't
This item looks like sh*t,
and he's got no f***ing manners.
I'm not gonna
put up with sh*t like this.
All right, look, you asked me
to get somebody that was all right.
You know, Russell here,
he's kind of a wise ass,
but he's all right if you can stand him.
Yeah, and a guy like you,
you want a job done...
you don't
have the balls to do it yourself,
I think you ought to try pretty hard to.
I don't like this guy.
He's too f***ing fresh for my blood.
Russell, will you shut the f*** up
and stop jerking the guy's chain?
He's trying to do us a favor here.
He's trying to do us a f***ing favor?
Yeah, he's trying to do us a favor.
I thought
he wanted us to do him a favor.
Is that the straight sh*t, Squirrel?
You trying to do me a favor?
Get the f*** out!
Man, what are you
talking to me like that? Come on.
You sell people dry cleaning
and you talk to them like that?
You know something,
the two guys I get to do this...
they're gonna cut up about 30,
I figure 30K.
And Australians like him. Frankie...
Australians like him
I can buy for 80 cents a dozen.
They throw another one in for free.
So you know what you do, Frankie?
You get me another guy...
cause I'm not gonna
put up with this kind of sh*t.
Look, John,
it'll be all right, okay? Trust me.
Hey, my friend, you picked
the wrong guy for a thing once.
You remember that?
You remember the doctor?
And I knew, I just knew
that this was the wrong guy.
What do I do? I take him anyway.
John, I need the dough.
Don't f*** around with me like that.
and my kids are growing up...
and my business isn't doing
what it should be, you know,
I can't get that back.
So from now on, I'm taking
my time and that's all there is to it.
I had my last f***-up.
Call me Thursday. Thursday I'll know.
I've got to give
a new direction to this economy.
Come on. That a girl. Good girl. Look.
All right, you're here.
So we going out there or what?
That depends.
Don't depend on me.
It's Thursday.
You coming with me or not'?
Man. F*** that guy. He's a dick.
Doesn't know if he wants me or not.
Well, I don't need him, mate.
I got my own thing going on, mate.
Me and Kenny, you know,
purebreds,
and selling 'em down in Florida.
I got 5 grand in the kit, mate.
When I get 7, I'm gonna go
and buy an ounce of smack...
and I'm gonna become a dealer.
Plus this afternoon...
I got a girl I can go and f***.
Right?
So I'm thinking it's a choice,
you know. Oh, tough one.
Am I gonna go and f*** a girl
or am I gonna go to a meeting
with the Squirrel?
Oh, f*** a girl, meeting with Squirrel.
F*** Squirrel.
I think I'll go f*** the girl.
I'd like to see this girl.
The kind of girl you can
screw off an ad in the paper?
Beautiful. Probably got a couple
of handfuls of broken glass in there.
Well, yeah, these girls, you see 'em...
you probably wouldn't want to rape them,
but all the plumbing works just fine.
So I guess you're not coming then.
Look, go ahead, see if you can
get him to tell you anything about it.
If you still like it then, then I'm in.
If not, if he doesn't want me, I'm out.
But I'm not wasting an afternoon on it.
That much, I'm not doing.
- There it is.
- All right, f*** it.
I don't know. I've been asking around
about him, you know and...
I mean, not too many people.
Now I don't want
everybody to think that...
maybe I got something in mind
and well, nobody knows this guy.
I'm afraid he's not the kind of guy
we want to have in with us.
See, these people
are not the kind of people
that are around a bank or something.
They expect maybe someday some guy's
gonna come in there and rob them
and it's not their money.
These are not
these kind of people at all.
They see somebody come in there
that's not absolutely cool...
that they can tell right off
doesn't know what he's doing...
they're liable,
some of them to get up off their ass
They're gonna f***ing shoot somebody,
for Christ's sake,
and I don't want that.
There's no reason for that, you know?
You don't get any more money
or anything like that.
It don't make any sense.
Yeah, I don't mean anything.
At least you got an idea, you know?
Yeah. You know what I did?
I goes down to probation,
like I actually believe in all that sh*t
they're handing out there.
"Here's something for you.
Place in Halbrook needs assemblers..."
"$130 a week,
"It'll keep you
out of trouble." Beautiful.
Well, I live in Somerville.
How the hell am I gonna get to
Halbrook in the middle of the afternoon?
Never mind,
for Christ's sake, how the f***...
am I gonna get home
in the middle of the night?
"Buy a car."
"With what? I haven't got no money."
What the f*** am I gonna buy a car with?
Why the f*** they think
I need a job in the first place?
F***ing a**holes.
You know, then I see Russell.
