The Rabbi quotes from Lucky Number Slevin (2006)

The Rabbi

The unlucky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky, Mister Fisher. You are unlucky, so I may know that I am not. Unfortunately the lucky never realize they are lucky until it's too late. Take yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you are today but it took today for you to realize it. But today has arrived, and it's too late... You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had. Or what others have...I'm a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what could've been when I am what could've been and what could not have been. I live on both sides of the fence, and the grass is always green.

The Rabbi

Since we're not friends and you hate baseball, then why the **** are you here?

The Rabbi

You must be Mr. Fisher.

Slevin

Must I be? Because it hasn't been working out for me lately.

The Rabbi

But I'm afraid you must.

Slevin

Well, if I must.

The Rabbi

There are three things one may not do to save a life including his own. He may not: idol-worship, commit adultery, or perform an act of premeditated murder. Killing you before you killed me would be...

Slevin

Kosher?

The Rabbi

Acceptable.

The Rabbi

Whatever they're paying you...

Slevin

There is no "they..." I did this to you. Me.

The Rabbi

You?

Slevin

Me.

The Boss

Who are you?

Slevin

Listen, I've been hearing that a lot lately--

The Rabbi

My father used to say: "The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle."
