Lord Of War Page #9

Synopsis: This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

his fingerprints on the guns.

Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me

to supply forces

he can't be seen supplying.

So... you call me evil,

but unfortunately for you,

I'm a necessary evil.

I would tell you to go to hell.

But I think you're already there.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Most people are happy

just to get out of jail.

I expect to be paid to leave.

I'm not a fool.

I know that just because they

needed me that day

didn't mean they wouldn't make

me a scapegoat the next.

But I was back,

doing what I do best.

Umbrellas to the Sahara?

Sun umbrellas.

You know who's going to

inherit the Earth?

Arms dealers.

Because everyone else

is too busy killing each other.

That's the secret to survival.

Never go to war.

Especially with yourself.
