Is it safe ?
I’m pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it’s a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means “friendship”.
Just remember that you’re not just reading the news, you’re narrating it. Everybody has to sell a little. You’re selling them this idea of you, you know, you’re sort of saying, trust me I’m, um, credible. So when you feel yourself just reading, stop! Start selling a little.
The only thing you got in this world is what you can sell. And the funny thing is that you’re a salesman, and you don’t know that.
What I don’t know - all them things that I don’t know - could get you killed if I come to know them. I ain’t jokin’.
If I were joking, I would have said “What do you do with an elephant with three balls? You walk him and pitch to the rhino”.
Rhino is awesome!
He’s so awesome! He’s… He’s beyond awesome! He’s… be-awesome!
There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.
Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
Looking after white babies, that’s what I do.
Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
Oh, we got both kinds, country AND western!
Whenever a big white man picks up a banjo, my cheeks tighten.
Goddamn, you play a mean banjo.
Hot damn, boy, I believe you did sell your soul to the devil!
But what gives human life its worth… anyway? Because someone loves it, hates it? The flesh is weak, Johnny. Only the soul is immortal. And yours belongs to ME.
Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee’s for closers only.
We have known each other many years, but this is the first time you’ve come to me for counsel or for help. I can’t remember the last time you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee, even though my wife is godmother to your only child. But let’s be frank here. You never wanted my friendship. And you feared to be in my debt.
You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value, is in the debt that it creates. You control the debt, you control everything.
Everybody needs money. That’s why they call it money.
