Slevin Kelevra
[To the Rabbi and the Boss]

The two of you killed everyone I ever loved. (Pause) **** you both.

Slevin Kelevra

You have a deceptively tall knock. Congratulations.

Slevin Kelevra

Somebody's trying to kill you. Me.

Slevin Kelevra

I'm just a guy whose dinner's getting cold.

Slevin Kelevra

I told you before...that's not my name.

Slevin Kelevra

I'm gonna say what any man with two penises would say, when his tailor asks him if he dresses right or left... Yes.

Slevin Kelevra
[To the Rabbi and the Boss]

The two of you killed everything I ever loved. (Pause) **** you both.

26 scenes

They call him "the Fairy"...

Slevin

Why do they call him "the Fairy"?

[impatiently]

Because he's a fairy.

Slevin

What, he's got wings, he can fly, he sprinkles magic dust all over the place?

[angrily]

He's a homosexual.

Sloe

The guy we lookin' for. His name is uh, his name is-

His name is Nick, man.

Sloe

Nick, yeah. The cat's name is Nick. Now who, who are you?

Slevin

I'm Slevin.(Sloe mutters the name confused for a minute)

Sloe

You got some ID?(Short pause)

Slevin

You see the funny thing about that is I got mugged this morning-

Sloe

Hey! Tell it to the one-legged man, so he can bump it off down the road.

Slevin's Girlfriend
[after Slevin walks in on her cheating on him]

This is an accident.

Slevin

What, like... He tripped, you fell?

Sloe

The Boss wants to see you.

Slevin

Who?

Sloe

The Boss.

Slevin

Who's the Boss?

Sloe

The guy we work for. Sit

Slevin

Look. I'm not the guy you're looking for. I don't live here.

Sloe

Yeah well you look like the guy who lives here.

Slevin

Man, you don't know what the guy who lives here looks like.

What he means to say is that you look like you live here.

Sloe

Yeah, that's what I mean to say.

[Showing a picture]

This was my son. Notice how I said was? That's because he's dead. Relegated to the past tense. Went from an is to a was before he had his breakfast.

Slevin

Bummer.

Slevin

I have ataraxia.

Ataraxia?

Slevin

It's a condition characterized by freedom from worry or any other pre-occupation really.

[after Slevin has just told him he'll take the job killing the Rabbi's son]

I knew you had sense.

Slevin

Sense is something you have when you have a choice.

Sometimes, and sometimes it's when you know you don't.

You must be Mr. Fisher.

Slevin

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

But I'm afraid you must.

Slevin

Well, if I must.

Brikowski

Who are you?

Slevin

Philosophically speaking?
Brikowski: Name.

Slevin

Rank, serial number?

Dumbrowski

You should really play ball kid.

Slevin

Really? You think I'm tall enough?

Brikowski
[Punches Slevin in the stomach]

What is your name?

Slevin
[gasping for breath]

Oh yeah, now I remember, Slevin Kelevra.

Wait, wait, wait. Look Nick, Slevin, Clark Kent, whatever the **** your name is. The fact of the matter is that the Virgin Mary herself could come waltzin' in here right now with her fine ass, titties hangin' out and everything and if she told me your name was Jesus Christ, I still got to take you to see the Boss. You know why?

Slevin

No.

Orders. And you do know what orders is right?

Slevin

I think I understand the concept of-

Orders is "orders".

Slevin

I guess no one ever taught you not to use the word your defining in the definition.

[Elvis punches him]

**** say somethin' else. I will break your mother**** nose. I ain't playin' with you.

Slevin

My nose is already broken.

Slevin

How did you find out about us?

I'm a world-class assassin, ****head. How do you think I found out?

Slevin

I'm not gay.

Brikowski

I'm a cop.

Slevin

Well, I'm not a robber, if you catch my drift.

Slevin

Someone's trying to kill you.

Yitzchok

Who?

Slevin

Me.

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?

[scathing noise]

Acceptable.

Slevin

Anything else you want to tell me?

I suppose I don't need to say anything as trite and cliche as "go to the police and you're a dead man".

Slevin

I think you just did.

I guess I did.

[whispering to Slevin]

Whatever they're paying you...

Slevin
[smiles slyly] [chuckles slightly]

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

You?

Slevin

Me.

Who are you?

Slevin

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

[interrupting]

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."

Mugger

Hey, you got the time?

Slevin

Yeah man, it's about 3:20.

Mugger

Yo, you got a smoke?

Slevin

No sorry, I don't smoke.

Mugger

Well then why don't you just give me your wallet, and I'll buy my own smokes.

Slevin

Am I being mugged?
[He is punched in the nose]

Slevin

This isn't the first time this has happened, you know.

You mean this isn't the first time a crime lord asked you to kill the gay son of a rival gangster to pay off a debt that belongs to a friend whose place you're staying in as a result of losing your job, your apartment, and finding your girlfriend in bed with another guy?

Slevin

No, this is the first time THAT happened, but Nick has been painting me into corners since we were kids.

You? You're the triggerman.

Slevin

Me?

You.

Slevin

Aren't there professionals? People you can hire to do this sort of thing?

[Laughing]

Of course there are. Yes. But you owe me 96,000 dollars. Why should I go out and pay someone else when I've already paid you?

Slevin

Ok, I'm under the impression that you're under the impression that I owe you 96,000 dollars.

No, you owe Slim Hopkins 96,000 dollars. You owe Slim, Slim owes me... You owe me.

Wait, wait, wait. Look Nick, Slevin, Clark Kent, whatever the **** your name is. The Virgin Mary herself could come waltzin' in here right now with her fine ass titties hangin' out and everything and if she told me your name was Jesus Christ, I still got to take you to see the Boss. You know why?

Slevin

No.

Orders. And you do know what orders is right?

Slevin

I think I understand the concept of-

Orders is "Orders" (but is said in an Ebonics for to really say all there is "Or-der-is".

Slevin

I guess no one ever taught you not to use the word you're defining in the definition.

[Elvis punches him]

Say somethin' else. I will break your mother**** nose. I ain't playin' with you.

Slevin

My nose is already broken.
