The Pawnbroker Page #3

I think that anything one

can do for these children

Is an investment in

one's own future.

I'm not particularly

concerned with the future.

How much do you want?

I'll take anything

you're willing to give,

Regardless of how it's given.

Is that the name of

the organization

I make the check out to?

Yes. The important thing is

the money will be well spent.

Do you always think the

worst of everyone?

A lot of people come

in here collecting...

Blind people with 20/20 vision,

Deaf people who could hear

the tumblers on my safe

When I dial the combination.

So with this experience,

I say why not you?

All right.

Why not me?

How much are you willing to give?

You see, I have no pride.

And since you've

been so cooperative,

I'll come back again...

And again... and again.

Mr. Nazerman...

When are you going to?

What?

To teach me.

Later.

Listen, your ad in the paper said,

"A bright, willing...

to-learn young man."

That's why I answered it.

And right now,

Mr. Nazerman,

I feel special bright

and special willing.

Hey! Ol!

Ooh! Aay! Ya-ha!

Later.

When?

Tonight.

That's good enough for me!

I just got to learn this business!

I just got to...

What's you saying, Jesus?

How you doing?

Ain't it wild?

This thing is brand new.

Never been used.

Blades shiny, sharp,

Cut grass down to the skin.

Yellow paint, gold paint,

Last a lifetime.

Where'd you get it?

What?

Why, it's a gift.

Yeah, a gift.

I would've returned it

To the store my friend bought it,

Only I was embarrassed

to ask him where.

Ain't that the truth, man?

You understand the police have

lists of stolen merchandise?

Oh, now, man, I ain't stole it!

A friend, a friend give it to me.

Now, he figure I make use of it.

Where'd you get these

numbers tattooed, uncle?

Aw, come on, now, uncle.

Will you take the thing?

Will you please take the thing?

I'll give you $30.

Sold.

I ain't no trouble at all.

Pleasure to do business with you,

Ain't I now?

We be in again, uncle.

See you later, Ortiz.

Friends of yours, Ortiz?

Oh, I know them.

Give me the number

on that contraption.

It's, uh...

"1-0-7..."

1-0-7...

"1-2."

1-2.

Mr. Nazerman...

You want to tell me

something, Mr. Nazerman,

What is that?

That. Is that a secret

society or something?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, what do I do to join?

What do you do to join?

You learn to walk on water.

Mr. Nazerman.

Mm-hmm.

Teach me gold.

Huh?

Well...

All right.

I'll teach you gold.

You know, I got this uncle,

He lives in detroit,

He's been in business

for 42 years.

Grocery store.

You know, my old lady

tells me that that man

Is as Solid as the

rock of Gibraltar.

Every time his business is
