Desperation and the Futility of Revenge
Dillon:
I heard a guy on television the other night. He was talking about pigeons. He called them "flying rats". I thought that was pretty good. What he had in mind, he was going to give them a pill or something, to make them extinct. Now, uh, here was a guy, who got shit on, probably got shit on again, then he got mad. They ruined his suit or something, so he's going to spend the rest of his life getting even with pigeons, they ruined a four hundred dollar suit. Now, uh, there's no percentage in that, you know, because there's probably ten million pigeons in Boston alone. All of em layin eggs every day, which generally produce more pigeons. All, uh, droppin tons and tons of shit, every day, rain or shine. And this guy in New York, he's goin "well, there just aren't gonna be any more of em in this world." A man gets desperate. He does a few things, he knows it won't work. Pretty soon he quits, packs it in, goes away someplace. That's the only way there is.
Dave Foley:
Okay. You gave us Scalise, and we're grateful. You can't talk about Coyle, you can't talk about Coyle. It's all right.
Dillon:
Thanks.
Dave Foley:
Screw. We been friends a long time now. I never asked a friend yet to do somethin he really couldn't do, I knew he couldn't do it.
Dave Foley: [begins walking off in a different direction]
Have a nice day.
