The Major
Congratulations, Mr. McVries. The cash prize is yours. So tell me, son. What's your wish?
The Major
The whole nation is watching, son. What's your wish?
Peter McVries #23
I want... [stands up] ...I want a carbine.
The Major
You'll have one.
Peter McVries #23
No. [points to rifle held by a soldier] I want that carbine. To give to my kids one day.
Sir?
The Major
Give him his wish. He won't shoot anyone, boys. He's won too much, and remember. This one wants to make the world a better place. Isn't that right, son?
Peter McVries #23
Hold your fire or I'll ****in' shoot!
The Major
Hold your fire, boys!
Peter McVries #23
I'll ****in' shoot!
The Major
That's all right, son. No harm done...not yet. Put the gun down. The whole world is waitin' for you. There's more riches than you can possibly imagine. Put the gun down. The prize is yours for the takin'. Don't throw it away.
Peter McVries #23
This is for Ray.
[shoots and kills the Major, sees the street now silent and empty, then drops the rifle and walks away]
