影片对白

Frank: Thirty-two forgs. Pretty impressive, boys. You ever think about doing this on a regular basis?

Jake: Spec? Yeah!

Frank: You run your own ship. Take down these nests. Don't have to deal with me and the pink sheets anymore. You two riding around together, kicking ass¹, taking names. I can talk to Corporate², see if they'd bump up the commissions a bit.

Jake: What do you think, man? What do you think, buddy³?

Remy: Forget it. Actually, Frank, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. Something...

Jake: Yeah. Forget that. Find somebody else. Just get us our pink sheets.

Frank: Suit yourself.

Jake: Okay, look. Can I just ask you something?

Remy: Mmm-hmm.

Jake: What do you think keeps a world like this's shit together? It's not magic. It's not. It's rules. It's people abiding⁴ by the terms of the deals that they sign themselves. It's rules. You know what's more important than the rules, though? It's the enforcement of those rules. I mean, we got a responsibility, you and me. I mean, what we do, I mean, maybe it's small, I don't know, but it matters. It matters.

Remy: I'd actually work less hours.

Jake: You're sure about this?

Remy: A job's a job, right?

Jake: A job's a job. Just make sure that they give you hazard pay. You'll be sitting next to Frank, in some booth, telling some cancer-riddled prick⁵, "You owe it to your family. You owe it to yourself." There's a good chance you'll choke on your own vomit⁶. You should go finish that T-Bone job.

Remy: Yeah.

Jake: It'll be your last hurrah⁷. Get Carol a chance to blow off some steam at the same time.

Remy: You ready to go after the Patrick Morton's?

Jake: I was there this morning. He said to say hi.

Remy: You didn't do it?

Jake: I did it. He said to say hi before that.

Remy: Jake's right. And if this is going to be my last job, then they don't come much better than Jimmy T-Bone.

Music: Every day...Will be like a holiday...

Remy: I've been listening to his music since I was in high school. And the way I see it, at least he's gonna get his heart ripped out by someone who appreciates his music.

Music: When my baby comes home...

Remy: It's a nice house.

T-Bone: Thanks. Not really mine anymore. You from the IRS?

Remy: No.

T-Bone: Soul suckers, taking everything back.

Remy: Mmm. So am I.

T-Bone: Uh...Can I finish this song?

Remy: Yeah. Of course. I'm a bit of a fan, actually.

T-Bone: Yeah? Good. You can help me out.

Remy: I don't...I don't know. I wouldn't be much help.

T-Bone: It's not that complicated. A song is just a bunch of separate tracks, all working together. Just got to know when to break it down. You know, pull it out, one thing at a time.

Remy: Well, I can do that.

Music: And every day, oh, yeah...Will be like a holiday...Oh, yes, it will...When my baby...When my baby comes home

T-Bone: That's a motherfucking hit right there.

Remy: IRS will be thrilled.

T-Bone: Can you make sure my boy Terrance at Blue Note Records get this?

Remy: It's done. Now, I'm legally bound to ask if you would like an ambulance on standby, in order to take you to the hospital.

T-Bone: And, what, they gonna give me a new heart?

Remy: Christ, no, not with your credit history. I know, it's a chicken-and-egg thing. There's a complaints department.

T-Bone: Nah, man, nah. Let's just...Will I sit or stand?

Remy: Easier if you lie down.

T-Bone: What the fuck is that, man?

Remy: My defib unit. Jarvik stops pumping when you give it a jolt⁸ with electricity. Saves me from losing my finger.

T-Bone: Hold on, hold on. Is this... Is this going to hurt?

Remy: You won't feel a thing.
