The Pawnbroker Page #6

Synopsis: In a poor neighborhood of New York, the bitter and lonely Jewish pawnbroker Sol Nazerman is a survivor from Auschwitz that has no emotions or feelings. Sol lost his dearest family and friends in the war and his faith in God and belief in mankind. Now he only cares for money and is haunted by daydreams, actually flashbacks from the period of the concentration camp. Sol's assistant is the ambitious Latino Jesus Ortiz, who wants to learn with Sol how to run a business of his own. When Sol realizes that the obscure laundry business he has with the powerful gangster Rodriguez comes also from brothels, Sol recalls the fate of his beloved wife in the concentration camp and has a nervous breakdown. His attitude leads Jesus Ortiz to tragedy and Sol finds a way to cry.

You'll die...

But not when you want to.

Not when you want to so bad.

One day it'll happen to you...

Just the time when

you wish it hadn't.

I'd like to borrow

some money on this.

I- I want to borrow $10 on this.

I collect them.

You'd be surprised how many people

Use them for decoration.

There's a monarch in here.

And the great spangle fritillary.

The mourning cloak...

And...

The one with the eye design, tha...

Thank you.

Well, gentlemen, what do you want?

The money.

The money.

Now, we ain't playin'.

Now you open that safe fast.

Well, come on!

Well, come on!

Look...

Go home.

We ain't jokin', mister.

You get that money

out of that safe.

You get it.

Hey, no sweat.

It's open.

Step aside, uncle.

What do you want to die for, uncle?

The money don't mean that

much to you, does it?

Now... you move.

Get out of the way of that safe...

No shooting!

Back up!

Back up!

Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus!

Ay, ay, ay!

Dios mio!

I... I said no shootin'.

I said no...

not to hurt you.

No...

No, don't hurt you.

No.

No, don't hurt you!

Back it up, back it up!

Let's go!
