no, forget it, it's too risky. i'm through doin' that shit.
i know that's what i always say. i'm always right too, but –
– yeah, well, the days of me forgittin' are over, and the days of me rememberin' have just begun.
i sound like a sensible fucking man, is what i sound like.
well take heart, 'cause you're never gonna hafta hear it again. because since i'm never gonna do it again, you're never gonna hafta hear me quack about how i'm never gonna do it again.
correct. i got all tonight to quack.
i'm doin' fine.
i mean the way it is now, you're takin' the same fuckin' risk as when you rob a bank. you take more of a risk. banks are easier! federal banks aren't supposed to stop you anyway, during a robbery. they're insured, why should they care? you don't even need a gun in a federal bank. i heard about this guy, walked into a federal bank with a portable phone, handed the phone to the teller, the guy on the other end of the phone said: "we got this guy's little girl, and if you don't give him all your money, we're gonna kill 'er."
fuckin' a it worked, that's what i'm talkin' about! knucklehead walks in a bank with a telephone, not a pistol, not a shotgun, but a fuckin' phone, cleans the place out, and they don't lift a fuckin' finger.
i don't know. there probably never was a little girl – the point of the story isn't the little girl. the point of the story is they robbed the bank with a telephone.
i'm not sayin' i wanna rob banks, i'm just illustrating that if we did, it would be easier than what we been doin'.
naw, all those guys are goin' down the same road, either dead or servin' twenty.
what have we been talking about? yeah, no more-liquor-stores. besides, it ain't the giggle it usta be. too many foreigners own liquor stores. vietnamese, koreans, they can't fuckin' speak english. you tell 'em: "empty out the register," and they don't know what it fuckin' means. they make it too personal. we keep on, one of those gook motherfuckers' gonna make us kill 'em.
i don't wanna kill anybody either. but they'll probably put us in a situation where it's us of them. and if it's not the gooks, it these old jews who've owned the store for fifteen fuckin' generations. ya got grandpa irving sittin' behind the counter with a fuckin' magnum. try walkin' into one of those stores with nothin' but a telephone, see how far it gets you. fuck it, forget it, we're out of it.
not this life.
garcon! coffee!
this place.
what's wrong with that? people never rob restaurants, why not? bars, liquor stores, gas stations, you get your head blown off stickin' up one of them. restaurants, on the other hand, you catch with their pants down. they're not expecting to get robbed, or not as expecting.
correct. just like banks, these places are insured. the managers don't give a fuck, they're just tryin' to get ya out the door before you start pluggin' diners. waitresses, forget it, they ain't takin' a bullet for the register. busboys, some wetback gettin' paid a dollar fifty a hour gonna really give a fuck you're stealin' from the owner. customers are sittin' there with food in their mouths, they don't know what's goin' on. one minute they're havin' a denver omelet, next minute somebody's stickin' a gun in their face.
see, i got the idea last liquor store we stuck up. 'member all those customers kept comin' in?
then you got the idea to take everybody's wallet.
that was a good idea.
we made more from the wallets then we did the register.
a lot of people go to restaurants.
pretty smart, huh?
remember, same as before, you're crowd control, i handle the employees.
i love you, honey bunny.
