reservoir dogs - mr. white

Whenever times are tough, everyone looks for a distraction. I try to go about it the right way. You can only drink so much. And for all the people who really took ill in a big way, I don't think a doctor would recommend hitting the bottle. Even though it's mostly through, I was compiling a list of great movies. Some of em are old.

Godfather
Angels with Dirty Faces
Coffy
~~First Blood~~ Rambo
Scent of a Woman
Django
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Big Doll House
Body Heat
The Graduate

I'm trying to pick out big ones. There are others, plenty of others. Who doesn't like movies, you know? Anyway, I stand by all of these recommendations. Go on and ask if you wanna know more. I think that's better than yammering on too long.

Decent things for sure. Yeah.

[Oh technology!]

So you game to go get shit today?

[Are you okay?]

Yeah, absolutely, I'm doin' great.

[That's an exaggeration... but he does look better.]

Did you find a new name for the dog?

[Like it's all a natural flow of conversation.]

I'm partial to Hey You.

I think "Hey You" might be his nickname, but I think his real name is gonna be Edison. Eddie for short.

Eddie.

[Like Eddie Cabot. That's private information though. A name's just a name. This one happens to be the name of his former best friend's kid that he gun down. Just like his daddy.]

Sounds good, pal.

[The name change sounds like progress.]

You wanna go get that idiot box? It might help you spend time.

[Waste it and never see it again.]

It's 'cause Edison's my middle name. Don't tell anyone, though. Most people think it sounds pretty stupid.

[Even he thinks it sounds pretty stupid. That's why he's giving it to his dog.]

Yeah, I think that sounds good.

Mine's Theodore. We're in the same boat.

[Jimmy doesn't even know your first name. God. Well. Little steps.]

Then after it's all set up, I'll show you The Godfather.

Okay. Sounds good.

[A pause, and then.]

Y'know tellin' me your middle name is gonna make me ask you the obvious question, right?

Yeah. Crossed my mind after I said it. It's been a habit to keep quiet about it.

[Awkward. He swallows.]

Look, I understand if you don't wanna say it. You got your reasons, and I ain't about to argue with 'em. But now you know my full name's James Edison Darmody, you better not make fun of it, okay? That's all I'll ask.

[It shouldn't be a big thing. And the longer they're here the more of a deal it seems that things aren't so bad. So.]

Lawrence Dimick. I go by other names. Keep it under your hat.

[As for making fun of? Jimmy. Oh Jimmy...]

I'm not gonna poke any fun.

[He can't help but break into a grin, just because Mr. White seemingly trusted him enough to tell, but he dials it back a little after a second. He doesn't want to look stupid.]

Like I said, I ain't gonna tell anybody. I'll just keep on callin' you Mr. White, y'know? Kinda used to that by now, anyway.

[Jimmy is something like a guy that White...Larry...used to be. And that's part of why he feels like it would be okay to trust him. The man's lst so fucking much so fucking fast. Might do him better to show somebody's put their lot with him.]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Someday I'll ask why all you guys got colors for last names, but I figure I've pushed my luck enough with the first question.

[He's back to his normal, cocky grin.]

Someday I might tell you.

[About colors, diamonds, bad decisions and instincts.]

Don't let it go to your head.

I never let anythin' go to my head.

[That's a lie, if there ever was one.]
