The Boss
- [the Boss sighs, and then pulls a large pair of shears out of his desk drawer]
- The Boss: No, I don't think you fully appreciate your position here. 'Cause if you did, you'd be spilling your guts and praying to God that I kill you quick before I crush your balls like harvest grapes.
- Joseph Koo: Oh God, please don't! It wasn't supposed to go this way!
- Duncan: [calmly] Wrong, Koo. I think it WAS supposed to go this way.
- [pause]
- Duncan: Somebody sent you out in public knowing you'd get picked up. You've been set up. Now I know you're scared, but listen carefully, your situation has changed. You are going to be tortured more heinously than you can conceive of by the man behind this desk.
- [pause]
- Duncan: Only one way to avoid that.
- [pause]
- Duncan: Only one way out.
- [pause]
- Duncan: Whattaya gonna do?
- The Boss: You know when I was young, I had this boss, Lazar. He used to talk a lot about getting taken out. He always used to say "You gotta see it comin', you gotta look for it where you think it is, you gotta look for it where you think it ain't, you gotta look hard, you gotta be fast. Because even seein' it comin' don't mean you can stop it."
- Jimmy: So you killed him?
- The Boss: Damn right.
- [the Boss casually takes the gun from his son Jimmy's hand]
- The Boss: Know anything about last night?
- Jimmy: [surprised] I love you, dad.
- The Boss: [playfully] I love you too, Jimmy.
- [the Boss punches Jimmy viciously in the eye, knocking him to the ground]
- The Boss: [screaming] Didja do it! Didja!
- Jimmy: No!
- The Boss: [calmly] Well, that's good. That's good, Jimmy.
- [pause]
- The Boss: Go pour yourself a shot of bourbon, you took that one like a man.
- [the boss bursts into the room and breaks up a loud argument among his henchmen at the poker table]
- The Boss: What the fuck is going on?
- Ives: Somebody was cheating, boss.
- The Boss: Yeah, well of course somebody was cheating, you're a bunch of fucking criminals. That is precisely why this always happens.
