Daniel Cerqueira: 'Lucky' Luciano
Quotes
-
Brewster : [Pete Brewster, Lucky Luciano and Luciano's henchman have driven Welles out to a deserted stretch of dirt road and forced him out of the car] You call yourself an American?
'Lucky' Luciano : Listen - he's just another name on that list. I say we waste him. Let the Reds take the rap.
'Lucky' Luciano : [Luciano's henchman punches and beats Welles, who falls to the ground. Henchman then approaches Welles and points a pistol to his head] You got somethin' to say about that, Mr. Welles? Somethin' smart?
Orson Welles : [Thug, with gun to Welles' head, racks the slide on his pistol] Christ, Pete, stop him! You gotta' stop him!
Brewster : [Coldly indifferent] I don't have to stop him. You heard what he said: you're just a name on a list.
Orson Welles : [Welles, in pain, grunts and groans on the ground]
Brewster : How can we possibly shoot you, when you played such a sterling part for Uncle Sam? You know that "list"... when we first planted it and you made such a big splash with it in the Press - well, it was more than I could have hoped. You know the best part? Originally, you weren't even on the list. You know why?... You're not that important. You were kind of an afterthought.
'Lucky' Luciano : You're not worth the bullet, Mr. Welles.
Brewster : [Welles, still on the ground, glares up at him] Don't judge me! The war never stopped. It just went underground. We simply have to win. Now, it's all about sacrifices, and whether you're tough enough to make them.
Orson Welles : Maybe you made too many, Pete. I remember when you had a soul, not just a job.
Brewster : You're entitled to your opinion.
Orson Welles : It's a free country.
Brewster : [Walking back to the car, leaving Welles lying in the road] Fuck you, Orson.
Orson Welles : Fuck you, Pete.
[Brewster and the others drive off, leaving Welles deserted in the road]
