F***ing Xavier beat Georgetown.

March Madness turned into

April where's our f***ing money.

And they sent me out

to put a little scare in you.

So I tailed you home

after school one day.

You were this little goofball

riding a ten-speed bike

in the middle of winter.

You had a Walkman on.

You were doing all this

dangerous no-hands stuff,

weaving in and out of traffic.

And I said to myself,

"You know?

"I should really do a number

on this little nitwit.

Might do him some good. "

So I-

I pulled up beside you

at an intersection.

I rolled down my window.

You didn't even notice me, though,

'cause your Walkman was blaring,

and the Stones must have

just come on, because you were-

you were singing that opening part

to You Can't Always Get What You Want,

you know, the really high part

with the boys choir?

You were making a terrible

f***ing sound, god-awful.

I should have shot you

right there just for that.

But, you know, I went soft.

I couldn't hit you.

I just figured you were some dumb kid

who made a dumb mistake,

and I drove away.

I pretended

that you gave me the money,

and I-I paid it myself.

What?

That was you?

Yeah.

And I...

I apologize for that, Andy.

I truly regret it.

I mean, if I'd...

you know,

done my job properly,

I might have turned you around,

kept you from turning hard-core.

That's why I've been giving

you all these chances.

But, you know, I can only take

so much responsibility.

Right?

I mean, you're the guy

who kept pissing away

chance after chance.

You know, you're the guy

that owes us 68 grand.

I-I understand.

I understand.

But I swear to God, Reuben.

I swear to God, I think

if I had one more chance-

One more chance to do what?

Buy another lottery ticket?

Bet on another game?

No, I-I-

Reuben.

Andy, please don't.

What do you want me to do, Andy,

call him and say,

"Change of plans;

Andy doesn't feel like

dying today"?

Hmm?

It's too late, Andy.

I'm sorry.

Not too late.

It's not too late.

Reuben, I can disappear.

Okay, fine, disappear.

But your head's not gonna be

attached to your body.

Yeah, that's what happens

when you call a bloke

you owe money "Mr. Funny Mouth."

Reuben.

Andy, stop.

Now, I thought we had something

real going here, finally.

Reuben.

No, Andy.

Reuben, please.

No.

Let's go.

Please.

- Don't.

- Come on.

No.

Andy, move your ass.

No!

No!

F*** you, Reuben!

F*** you!

You f***ing shoot me right here

in your f***ing piece of sh*t car, Reuben!

Shoot me right in here.

F*** you!

Come on, Andy.

I'm supposed to get a last one of these.

Andy.

Open the door.

I'm supposed to get one last smoke.

Open the door, Andy.

You all right?

Top of the f***ing world, Reuben.

Okay.

Reuben.

No, Andy.

Reuben, I-I just-

No, Andy.

Just listen to me.

Andy.

Listen, I really just want

to enjoy the scenery.

I suggest you do the same.

I-I-listen.

No, Andy.

Reuben.

- Reuben.

- Andy.

Reuben, I'm begging you.

Listen to me.

The next sound you make

will be your last.

Don't even do that, Andy.

This is it.

Next f***ing sound,

next f***ing move,

it's all over.

Take one last look

at this world, mate.

Are you ready, Andy?

I have one last thing

I want to tell you.

Reuben.

Don't f***ing interrupt me.

You want to talk about bad luck?

F***ing up your life,

making stupid bets,

stupid choices,

that's not bad luck.

That's just stupid.

I'll tell you

what bad luck is, Andy.

Bad luck is finding out

that thing

you thought was an ulcer

is really a f***ing tumor.

Bad luck is realizing that you

haven't done sh*t with your life.

Bad luck is realizing

what's really important

when it's too f***ing late!

Unfortunately,

it's too late for some of us, Andy.

# I can make you scared #

# if you want me to #

# I'm not prepared #

# but if I have to #

# I said I can make you scared #

# It's kind of what I do #

# If you're prepared #

# here's what I propose to do #

# You're in Russia #

# and more than a million works of art #

# are whisked out to the woods #

# So when the Nazis

find the whole place dark #

# they think God's left

the museum for good #

# Make you scared #

# 'cause that's what I do #

# If you're prepared #

# if I have to #

# If I make you scared #

# and you pay me to #

# then that's the deal #

# Now here's what I can do for you #

# Now there's a focus group #

# that can prove #

# this is all nothing

but cold calculation #

# Tests have shown #

# that suspicious or hostile #

# their lives need not be shortened #

# truth be told #

# they can live a long, long while #

# tickled to death by their importance #

# If you make me scared #

# if that's what you do #

# if I'm unclear #

# can I get out of this thing

with me and you #

# And if you feel scared #

# a bit confused #

# I got to say #

# this sounds a little beyond

anything I'm used to #

# Now there's a precious few #

# that can prove

that at the root #

# This is all nothing

but cold calculation #

# Clearly entranced #

# you're leaning back now #

# Defanged destroyer limps into the bay #

# Down at the beach #

# it's attracting quite a crowd #

# as kids wade through blood

out to it to play #

# Okay you made me scared #

# You did what you set out to do #

# I'm not prepared #

# you really had me going there

for a minute or two #

# He said, you made me scared too #

# I wasn't sure I was getting through #

# I got to go #

# it's been a pleasure

doing business with you #
