FOX (Christopher Walken): We had a good day.<\/p>\n
X (Willem Dafoe): Yeah, we did.<\/p>\n
FOX: I wrote a haiku, you know, for the occasion. A dog… walks into a bar. He’s wearing a suit, shirt, and tie. He says to the bartender, “I’d like a Scotch… and toilet water.”<\/p>\n
(they both crack up)<\/p>\n
FOX: It’s a haiku. Rapid translated. You know, on another more serious note. Sandii and Hiroshi were seen having dinner… in a hotel, two nights ago. “Very cozy,” that’s the description I got. There was chitchat. They’re telling jokes. Also her room was not slept in that night… according to a cleaning lady. Looks like you’re not the only one.<\/p>\n
X: I suppose that’s good. You know… business is business. Just because he’s fucking her, doesn’t mean he’s gonna put her on back of his horse and ride out of town.<\/p>\n
FOX: Yeah, but we bet a million dollars that our horse comes in first. There’s no place to show in this race. That’s the way I love it. Also-rans make me puke.<\/p>\n
X: They’re gonna come after us and you know that.<\/p>\n
FOX: I’ve been hunted my whole life. It’s all I know. Me against them, from the beginning. What do I care? They break my back, I’d break their back. I’m a hunter too. It’s the one I believed… that the Edge was felt. Some of what Hiroshi feels, he’s… He looks different. He’s like us.<\/p>\n
X: So… if this happens, will that do it for you? Will you find redemption? Will you finally have the Edge, or whatever you call that pie-shape wedge that missing from your psyche and deny you from feeling complete.<\/p>\n
FOX: Yes, it’s what the prospect is about making up a million dollars. That’s the deal. Thanks goodness I didn’t ask for two. Psyche? This thing is for idlers and dreamers. Introspection? Where does this come from? It doesn’t fit… behoove… a gentleman to be introspective.<\/p>\n
X: I’m with you.<\/p>\n
FOX: Good. Now that the heart-filled conversation is out of the way… could we talk about money? I want you to fly to Marrakesh. It’s no point in dilly-dallying. I want to guy know there’s a lab to go to.<\/p>\n
X: I’ll take care of it.<\/p>\n
FOX: Give him anything he wants; make the guy happy. This is it. He has the girl. He’s rid of the ball-busters. What a guy, he’s like…<\/p>\n
X: You envy him, don’t you?<\/p>\n
FOX: I do.<\/p>\n
X: You love him, don’t you?<\/p>\n
FOX: I would love it to be like that, to be so free, to be so rich, so famous. You know, the guy’s… he’s got everything. What you would give to a man who has everything? Sandii. It’s a terrible name. I mean, is she from Staten Island? Is her father in construction? She has two sisters? Teri and Tina?<\/p>\n
X: Candy.<\/p>\n
(they both crack up again)<\/p>\n
FOX: Hey, banzai!<\/p>\n
X: Banzai.<\/p>\n
FOX: Waiter! Coleslaw for everybody! Too bad nobody’s here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
