The Freshman Page #3

They're actually before my time.

Whatever. You understand.

You don't keep the picture up

for political reasons.

No. It's not political.

It's definitely not political.

My nephew says you're from Kansas.

Vermont.

Six of one, half-dozen of the other.

The most important thing

is that we're all Americans.

Right.

Good, Lorenzo. Thank you.

- "Thank you," he says.

- I know.

Now this is real Italian coffee.

It's not like regular coffee.

Know what I mean?

It's a little strong,

so we put a little sugar in.

It cuts the strength.

Maybe a little more.

All right. Drink it down. One gulp.

Puts hair on your chest.

Did my nephew explain this job to you?

No, not really.

It's best if you explain it,

Uncle Carmine.

It's not complicated work, but it

must be done right, like all things.

Tomorrow at 1 pm, outside the club,

will be parked a car.

What is it called?

Sedan De Ville.

- Sedan De Ville.

- That's a type of Cadillac.

A Cadillac.

Yeah, this is a type of Cadillac.

Now, I want you to drive this car

to the JFK cargo terminal.

There you will pick up a package

addressed to Larry London.

Deliver this package to Cherry Hill,

New Jersey. That's it.

Is that far?

Not more than 3 hours, the whole trip.

Depends on traffic.

You never know.

You could get there in no time...

...or sit in traffic for hours

with your dick in your hand.

That's why I need someone

who can use his head...

...who won't get upset, emotional or

nervous no matter what happens.

Right. I understand that.

For this service,

I'm going to pay you $500.

$500?

See why my sister's so pissed?

I mean, angry, beside herself.

You'll pull in at least a grand a week.

A thousand dollars a week?

I'm going to need two trips a week,

minimum.

Of course, if things get busy,

then maybe more.

I hadn't thought of that much money.

I don't know.

- You don't know what?

- Wait. Hold on.

Let him think.

This is a sign of intelligence.

He's trying to understand

the nature of this job.

So, what are your thoughts, Kent?

Clark.

Sorry. Clark.

I have to ask you something.

Don't take it wrong.

No, anything, go ahead.

I smell a rat.

A rat?

He smells a rat.

That's right.

Know why you smell a rat?

Because God gave you a brain.

Because you're asking yourself,

"Clark, what is this?

A man will pay me $500 a trip

to deliver a package?"

- This is what you think?

- Right. That's what I'm feeling.

This is natural. Natural.

So then you understand.

Sure.

I understand a thousand percent.

Give me your hand.

You know what this is?

This handshake?

We call this the hand of friendship.

We?

You don't know what this is.

The hand of friendship from my Uncle.

I want you to take this opportunity.
