I don't know why. I just thought he'd be European or something because, yeah man, he about his European as [ __ ]. English B now, but was he cool or what? Thank you. Totally [ __ ] cool and in control, didn't he? You know, he didn't really get pissed when you were [ __ ] with him. I was amazed. Want some bon? No man, I don't eat pork. Are you Jewish? No, I ain't Jewish. I just don't dig on swine, that's all. Why not? Big, filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Yeah, but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good. Hey, SE rat may taste like punk and pie, but I never know because I wouldn't eat the filthy [ __ ] pigs. Sleep and root in [ __ ]. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eating nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard his own feces. How about a dog? Dog eats his own feces. I don't eat dog either. Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they definitely dirty. But dogs got personality. Personality goes the wrong way. Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true? Well, we have to be talking about one charming [ __ ] pig. I mean, he had to be 10 times more charming in that AR on green ankles, you know what I'm saying? Oh man, that's good. That's good man. You starting to lighten up. You been sitting there all serious and [ __ ]. Man, I just been sitting here thinking about what about the miracle we witnessed. Miracle you witnessed? I witnessed the freak occurrence. What is a miracle, Vincent? Act of God. And what's an act of God? When, um, God makes the impossible possible. But this morning I don't think qualifies. Hey Vincent, don't you see that [ __ ] don't matter? You're judging this [ __ ] the wrong way. I mean, it could be God stopped the bullets or he changed Coke to Pepsi. He found my [ __ ] car keys. You don't judge [ __ ] like this based on merit. Now, whether or not what we experienced was an according to H miracle is insignificant, but what is significant is I felt the touch of God. God got involved. But why? Well, that's what's [ __ ] with me. I don't know why, but I can't go back to sleep. You serious? You really thinking about quitting the life? Yeah, most definitely. [ __ ] what she going to do then? Well, that's what I've been sitting here contemplating. First, I'm going to deliver this case to Marcelus. Then basically, I'm just going to walk the earth. What you mean walk the earth? You know, like Kane and Kung Fu. Walk from place to place, meet people, get in adventures. And how long do you intend to walk? Walk the earth till God puts me where he wants me to be. And what if you don't do that? Well, if it takes forever, then I'll walk forever. So you decided to be a bum? I'll just be Jewels, Vincent. No more, no less. No Jewels, you decided to be a bum just like all those pieces of [ __ ] out there who beg for change, who sleep in garbage bins, and eat what I throw away. They got a name for that Jewels. It's called a bum. And without a job, a residence, or legal tender, that's what you're going to be, man. You're going to be a [ __ ] bum. Look, my friend, this is just where you and I differ. Got some coffee, Jul? Look what happened this morning, man. I agree, it was peculiar, but water and wine, all shapes and sizes. Vincent, don't [ __ ] talk to me that way, man. If my answers frighten you, Vincent, then you should cease asking scary questions. Never rest. I'm going to take a [ __ ]. Let me ask you something. When did you make this decision? When you were sitting there eating that muffin? Well, yeah, I was sitting there eating my muffin and drinking my coffee and replaying the incident in my head when I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity. [ __ ] to be continued.
