Bondar
[at Club Silencio]

No hay banda! There is no band. Il n'est pas de orquestra! This is all a tape-recording. No hay banda! And yet, we hear a band. If we want to hear a clarinette, listen. … It's all a tape. It is an illusion.

A man's attitude … a man's attitude goes some ways, the way his life will be. Is that something you might agree with?

Sure.

Now, did you answer because that's what you thought I wanted to hear, or did you think about what I said and answer 'cause you truly believe that to be right?

I agree with what you said, truly.

What'd I say?

… That a man's attitude determines to a large extent how his life will be.

So since you agree, you must be a person who does not care about the good life.

How's that?

Well, stop for a little second and think about it. Can you do that for me?

[laughs]

Okay, I'm thinking.

No, you're not thinking. You're too busy being a smart-aleck to be thinking. Now, I want you to think and stop being a smart-aleck. Can you try that for me?

Howdy.

Howdy to you.

Beautiful evening.

Yeah.

Sure wanna thank you for coming all the way up here to see me from that nice little hotel downtown.

No problem. What's on your mind?

Well, now. Here's a man who wants to get right down to it. Kind of anxious to get to it, are you?

There's sometimes a buggy. How many drivers does a buggy have?

So, let's just say I'm driving this buggy. And, if you fix your attitude, you can ride along with me.

Cynthia

Do you know somebody called "the Cowboy"?

The Cowboy?

Cynthia

Yeah, the Cowboy. This guy, the Cowboy, wants to see you. Jason said he thought it'd be a good idea.

Oh, Jason thought it'd be a good idea for me to see the Cowboy. Well, should I wear my ten-gallon hat and my six-shooters?

Dan

I just wanted to come here.

Herb

To Winkie's?

Dan

This Winkie's.

Herb

Okay, why this Winkie's?

Dan

It's kind of embarrassing.

Herb

Go ahead.

Dan

I had a dream about this place.

Herb

Oh, boy.

Dan

See what I mean?

Herb

Okay, so you had a dream about this place. Tell me.

Dan

Well, it's the second one I've had, but they're both the same. They start out that I'm in here, but it's not day or night. It's kind of half-night, you know? But it looks just like this, except for the light. And I'm scared like I can't tell you. Of all people, you're standing right over there, by that counter. You're in both dreams and you're scared. I get even more frightened when I see how afraid you are, and then I realize what it is. There's a man … in back of this place. He's the one who's doing it. I can see him through the wall. I can see his face. … I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream. … That's it.

Herb

So, you came to see if he's out there.

Dan

To get rid of this god-awful feeling.

Herb

Right, then.

Luigi Castigliane

This is the girl!

Hey, that girl is not in my film!

Vincenzo Castiliane

It's no longer your film.

Hitman
[Diane is about to give the hitman his money]

Now, once you hand that over to me, it's a done deal. Are you sure you want this?

More than anything in this world.

Honey, you're a good kid, but what you're telling me is a load of horse puckey. Even though it comes from a good place.

I want you to go back to work tomorrow. You were recasting the lead actress anyway. Audition many girls for the part. When you see the girl that was shown to you earlier today, you will say, "this is the girl." The rest of the cast can stay, that's up to you. But that lead girl is not up to you. Now, you will see me one more time if you do good. You will see me two more times if you do bad. Good night.
