[Mr. Smith tells Mr. Watson a story about a man he loved]
Mr. Smith
There was this guy... Big guy, Irish-Italian. Red-faced, black-haired, jolly son of a bitch... Wait a second, nobody could make me laugh like him. He made a science of collecting jokes. We closed more bars together than I could count. Now, he was a pal. I loved the crazy mick. I'm not ashamed to say that, but... He was a fuck-up. He had this image of himself. He thought he was a con man. Always trying to shave the edge. He was nickel and dime. I'll always miss him. Tell me why.
Gene Watson
Tell you why, what?
Mr. Smith
Tell me why I miss him.
Gene Watson
He's dead?
Mr. Smith
That's right. He is dead, but tell me why.
Gene Watson
How do I know? I don't...
Mr. Smith
Tell me why he's dead.
Gene Watson
Because you killed him.
Mr. Smith
That's right, I did. I killed him. He fucked up one too many times. So, I put a bullet in his eye. Then, I put two more into him just to make sure. Now, that was somebody I loved; I loved him! But I got the call, and I put him down like a sick animal. So... if you got doubts... about what's going to happen if you don't deliver, let me tell you something. I'll make gravy out of your little girl just to season that Black Irish cocksucker's meat. Now, you do what you're supposed to do, young man. You do it now.
