A line from The DriverYou know the story about the scorpion and the frog? Your friend Nino didn't make it across the river.
The Driver There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand?
The Driver Hey, you want a toothpick?
The Driver If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.
The Driver Can I talk to you? I won't keep you long. I have to go somewhere and I don't think I can come back. But I just wanted you to know. Getting to be around you and Benicio was the best thing that ever happened to me.
The Driver Now, you just got a little boy's father killed and you almost got us killed and now you're lying to me. So how about this? From now on, every word out of your mouth is the truth or I'm going to hurt you.
Driver Is he a bad guy?
Yeah.
Driver How can you tell?
Because he's a shark.
Driver There's no good sharks?
Kid, I want you to meet Mr. Bernie Rose!
Nice to meet you. [Sticks out his hand to shake; Driver does not take it]
Driver My hands are a little dirty.
So are mine.
You're Shannon's buddy, right? We met last year. You drove me and my brother back from Palm Springs. We hired another wheelman. I spent six months in jail. My brother, he got himself killed. I got this sweet job coming up.
Driver How 'bout this. You shut your mouth or I'll kick your teeth down your throat and I'll shut it for you.
Nice seein' you again.
