Something Good: The Mercury Factor Page #3

---

It's the highest position someone like you

can aspire to, in this country.

Thank you, Mister Feng. Thank you.

- Two more of the same.

- Hey! What's up?

Who said I want another one?

- Well, you got at least three reasons to celebrate.

- Oh, really?.

One, I found the people who offered nine,

I sold them the entire stock.

- Good.

- Two, it's your birthday!

That's nice of you, thank you.

And three... what's being said.

What about Mister Feng's promise

to make you CEO?

If viruses spread like gossip,

man would be extinct.

- Well, is there any truth in it?

- I don't know.

You see, I think there are three kinds of men:

Those who tell the truth.. in my

country we call them "saints."

Those who are so powerful

they don't give a sh*t about truth,

and we call them "princes".

And then it's me and you

and everybody else,

who hover between truth and lies.

My father was a saint.

Mister Feng is a prince.

And I'm done with being in the middle,

always cheating on everyone.

Good. Then let's go out

and really celebrate. Hm?

OK.

Well my friend,

I've got a little surprise for you.

What..?

It's your birthday present.

Are they gorgeous, or what? Huh?

I told you we were

going to really celebrate!

Hello!

- Ladies, this is Matteo.. Olga.

- What's your name?

Olga.

- The most beautiful Monique..

- Hello. Monique.

That's Matteo.

We're gonna go have a little bite

in a very nice restaurant I know,

- celebrate his birthday..

- Very lovely.

- Let's get a cab.. - Alright, yeah.

- This one.

OK.

We're gonna go have a great meal,

we're gonna have a few drinks..

- We're gonna have some fun...

- Ah, yeah?

- Is this place far?

- No, 10 minutes, we're there.

- I'm really excited about tonight.

- I'm glad, honey.

- So am I.

- Yeah? Are you?

You wanna meet my friend,

have a really good time?

Whats that? That's very big!

Semi-automatic Beretta. 22 caliber.

I gotta little bigger caliber,

if you want.

May I? Wow!

- Put his gun down.

- Have you ever killed anyone?

Are you kidding? Come on.

That's just for show, put it down.

Have you?

- Hey, hey! Put it down.

- Put it down! What are you doing?

- It's a real gun, you don't play with it!

- Why do you have this?

- Sorry, sorry sir. It's OK.

- Toy gun. Toy!

- From the outside it's not really inviting.

- It's the food that matters.

What would you like to drink, darling?

Would you like wine, would you like beer?

- I like Thai beer. Do you have Thai beer?

- Of course.

- What would you like? - Chinese.

- One Chinese beer.

- What are you drinking?

- Whatever. Beer is fine.

Four beers! OK.

One Thai, three Chinese beers, thank you.

Can I have a talk with you one second?
