Revolver

One thing I've learned in the last seven years,

in every game and con there is always

an opponent and there is always a victim.

The trick is to know when you're the latter,

so you can become the former.

How deep did you bury that shareholder, Paul?

Deep.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

He has to pay us something, doesn't he?

But you've got more money

than you could ever spend.

That's all you think about nowadays.

He owes me and he owes you.

Now he has to pay.

It's cause and effect.

Sorry, sir, this table is closed.

Send him up.

I'm not sure that's a good idea, Mr. D.

He's got better. I mean, a lot better.

All the tables are closed.

Send him up, Paul.

Hold on.

I think we'll take the stairs, eh, Billy?

You want to walk 20 flights, Jake?

Don't be silly.

I don't like to feel trapped. Never did, never will.

Why should a man

do what he doesn't like to do?

Jake, if you want to take the stairs,

we'll take the stairs...

There's always a choice.

What's wrong with the stairs?

Come on, you'll be all right.

I've got to spend the next two minutes

shaking and sweating like a crack whore

clucking for a fix.

Should have taken the stairs,

cos it's getting very, very tight in here.

I'm afraid it's only two at the table, Mr. Green.

Freddy, you're done.

Have a seat, Mr. Green.

I hear you've done very well for yourself...

...and against all the odds.

They do say, the harder the battle

the sweeter the victory.

A wise man once told me

there's only one rule in this world,

a small question that drives all success.

The more a man invests in that question,

the more powerful that man will become.

Can you guess what that question is, Mr. Green?

What's in it for me?

I've been warned

if I let you sit down at this table I might regret it.

They say you've become

very ambitious in your maturing,

and you now wish to acquire yourself

a business,

a business like my business?

But we both know what you are, don't we, Jake?

You're a man who needs a master.

You're an employee.

So, what's in it for me?

The pleasure of doing an old employee a favor,

by reminding him of the position

nature chose for him.

Rade, how much have you got?

What's that got to do with you?

Toss you for it.

He's got you there, Rade.

It's not worth a heart attack. Get on with it.

I'll toss you for a tenth.

You're a risk-taker of the highest caliber,

ain't you, Rade?

I'll take red.

Very impressive, Mr. Green.

You've honed those talents most skillfully.

Pay the man his money, Billy.

Should have bet the whole lot, Rade.

You have to teach me that trick sometime.

You're on.

I'll toss you for everything under your chin.

There isn't a problem is there, Mr. D?

You've got a big mouth on a small head,

sunshine.

Be my guest.

I'll take purple.

You're on.

It's a lovely color, purple,

discretely sandwiched within

the color spectrum between blue and white.

Always a royal winner.

Billy, do the honors.

Don't you f***ing move.

Don't let your mouth put you in more trouble

than your body could handle.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll exercise a bit of charity.

Double or quits?

You're on.

Come on.

Mr. Green, Mr. Macha would appreciate it

if you came back to the table.

I haven't finished with him yet.

Now would be a good time.

I think it's time to fly, don't you, Jake?

- Excuse me.

- We're coming through here.

Relax. You're in trouble, Mr. Green.

We could help.

Thank you.

I take the stairs.

He got lucky, Mr. D, that's all.

F*** luck, the man's a danger.

Since he's been out, he's made a fortune, Mr. D.

He's fat and comfortable.

He's got what he wanted.

I'm sure we won't be hearing from him again.

He ate seven years, Paul.

Seven years doesn't taste nice.

Not to mention the accident

with his brother's wife.

And what the f*** does

"I haven't finished with him yet" mean?

Get rid of him.

And I don't want any mistakes.

No crackheads with sharp sticks

acting like silly f***ing gangsters.

You take Sorter and Slim Biggins.

You do it quickly, you do it quietly.

We don't know what caused the blackout.

But we've run some blood tests

and we'll have the results within a few hours.

It's a miracle

you didn't sustain any damage from your fall.

Can I go now?

Once you've put your clothes back on.

We'll call you back with the results.

All right, look, I'll take your man back.

Billy. You go home.

It's late.

Go easy now, yeah?

Joe.

Joe.

Jake. Move.

- Joe.

Move. Get the hell out of here.

Al, drive the f***ing car.

Sit down and hold on.

Get in the car.

If I wanted you dead,

I would have shot you already.

Sit back and be quiet.

What?

He missed?

Sorter never f***ing misses.

I don't know what happened.

Something went wrong.

I had him in my sights...

three times.

You never miss, let alone three times.

Somebody told him we was coming.

Something is very wrong here.

Yeah, something's f***ing wrong all right.

Don't make me angry, Slim.

I might have missed him,

but I ain't going to miss you, not at this range.

Maybe it's better you just drive.

Doreen, Mr. Green. Mr. Green, Doreen.

Good morning, Mr. Green.

Avi, Mr. Green.

Mr. Green, Avi.

Sit down.

I gather you're quite the player?

I'm a bit of an enthusiast myself.

I thought maybe we could have a few games.

I think you should tell me what is going on,

don't you?

We have your medical results from the hospital.

It's not important how we got them.

What is important, however,

is what it has to say.

You will die within three days

from a very unpleasant ailment

that contaminates your blood and organs.

Thanks, fellas.

I'll get back to you on this one, yeah?

Mr. Green.

The longer you listen, the sweeter the pitch.

We've already saved your life once.

The next time will not be for free.

We shall assist you under two conditions.

These conditions are not negotiable.

Oh, I'm being grafted.

Condition one.

We will bleed you dry.

You have to put on a better shirt

before you bleed me dry, my friend.

You will give us every penny you have got.

This is a con.

It's only natural that you think that

you are somehow being conned,

but think a little harder,

and you will realize that this is not a trick.

Now, condition two.

You will do as we tell you without argument.

This includes

answering any questions that are asked.

You don't have a lot of time,

and, in reality, you don't have a choice.

Now, the most sensible thing to do

would be to get a second opinion.

Macha has unleashed his legions.

We can protect you from the dangers you face.

That is our deal.

You have three hours to decide.

After that, you will be beyond our help.

Think I'm going to part with

my hard-earned cash

for a set of home-made hospital results?

I don't think so.

Not today.

I don't have good news, I'm afraid, Mr. Green.

They've thought this one through all right.

Oh, they're smart.

Smart as a pair of a little boy's shoes.

She has to be in on it.

That's how they got the results.
