And some more Tarentino... In this scene from Tony Scott’s True Romance, screenplay by Quentin Tarentino, Drexl is a pimp, drug and arms dealer. Clarence is a young clerk in a comic book store and a pop culture buff. Clarence has just married one of Drexl’s girls and comes to visit him, at home. * Please pardon the language; I'm merely quoting : ) - Mme. M. MARTIN [thug at the door] He was askin' about Alabama. DREXL Where the fuck is that bitch? CLARENCE She's with me. DREXL Who the fuck are you? CLARENCE I'm her husband. DREXL Well, that makes us practically related. You have a seat, boy. Grab yourself a'egg roll. We got everything here from a Little-Eyed Joe to damned-if-I-know. CLARENCE No, thanks. DREXL "No, thanks"? What that mean, hmm? I think you're too scared to be eatin'. [ Snaps Fingers ] Now, see, we're sittin' down here, ready to negotiate, and you've already given up your shit. I'm still a mystery to you, but I know exactly where your white ass is comin' from. [Take note that Drexl is played by Gary Oldman, with dreads. – Mme. Marque] See, if I ask if you want some dinner and you grab a' egg roll and start to chow down, I say to myself, this motherfucker, he's carryin' on like he ain't got a care. And who knows? Maybe he don't. Maybe this fool is such a bad motherfucker, he don't got to worry about nothin'. He just sit down, watch my motherfuckin' TV. See? You ain't even sat down yet. Man, that TV over there — since you been in the room, there's a woman with her "breastuses" hangin' out, and you ain't even bothered to look. You just been clockin' me. I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties. [ Laughs Mockingly ] Ooh, wee! This child be fierce. CLARENCE I'm not eatin' 'cause I'm not hungry. I'm not sittin' 'cause I'm not stayin'. I ain't lookin' at the movie 'cause I already seen it seven years ago. It's The Mack. Max Julian, Carol Speed and Richard Pryor. I ain't scared a’ ya. I just don't like ya. In that envelope right there is some payoff money. Alabama is movin' to greener pastures. We're not negotiatin'. I don't barter. What's in that envelope is for my peace of mind. My peace of mind is worth that much, not one penny more. DREXL It's empty. “I ain’t scared a’ ya. I just don’t like ya.” - ha "Aw, baby, you're bleeeding!" - Alabama, to Clarence, from 'True Romance,' screenplay by Quentin Tarentino
