Revolver Page #3

So if you could restrain those feelings

until you've completed the mission,

I would be most grateful.

Do you think you could do that for me?

Sure.

I'd appreciate it.

If there is one thing I have learnt

about experts, they're experts on f*** all.

If there's a rule, you can bend it.

If there's a law, it can be broken.

From now on, I am breaking all the rules,

because desperate men do desperate deeds.

Cash just seems to remain king, doesn't it?

New bills. Not too many of them in this town.

I love a new bill.

Represents so much hope.

Look how clean and stiff it is.

It even smells proud.

Your work starts now. You'll be driving.

We are, and I apologize for the

unnecessarily dramatic moniker, loan sharks.

People hate and fear us,

just like you will learn to hate and fear us.

We know how much you love a dollar bill,

and it won't be easy watching them

fall through your hands,

because it will be your money

that we will be loaning.

Don't say a word.

Just hold the bag

and if we nod, leave it on the table.

There's nothing left.

That's a very sad story, Mr. Horowitz.

My sympathies are with you and your colleague.

Maybe I am being conned,

maybe I am being fooled.

Excuse us for having to know

the reason for your loan,

but we have to assess our clients very carefully.

They say the sentence has been passed,

the certificate signed, so what's the point?

The point is, this is the only option.

If you snap those fingers at me again,

I'll f***ing break 'em.

You know our rates, right?

And our policies?

No offence, gentlemen,

but you have a reputation.

I wouldn't be speaking to you if I had a choice.

It's a strange thing,

but I still don't like to give it away.

I know I can't take it with me, so why the pain?

Why the f*** does it still hurt?

And greasing the sheaths of these two pricks

isn't making it any easier.

We need to know your history with Macha.

How much of it?

All of it.

Macha had these three clowns working for him

called the three Eddies.

Flash, loud, proud and stupid.

They were looking after these shitty little games

going on all over the city.

They were wild and dangerous,

but if you won they paid well.

Macha had lost his card man

just before a big game.

Anyway they knew I could play,

so they wanted me to take his place.

Like any man who was thinking, I refused.

So they started to lean on

my brother and his family.

He'd just had a little girl at the time and...

...the whole situation was getting messy.

# How many legs has daddy long-legs got?

So, for the sake of keeping the peace,

I rolled over and agreed to play.

I won, and I was done.

That's very good, Mr. Green,
