And if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. (Laughter) I am William Wallace!

Will you fight? ...Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live, at least a while.

"...That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled
was convincing the world he didn't exist. One story the guys told
me - the story I believe - was from his days in Turkey. There was a
gang of Hungarians that wanted their own mob. They realized that
to be in power you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just
needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After awhile they
come to power, and then they come after Soze. He was small time then,
just running dope, they say. They come to his home in the afternoon
looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house
and decide to wait for Soze. He comes home to find his wife raped and
his children screaming. The Hungarians knew Soze was tough. Not to
be trifled with. So they let him know they meant business. They tell
him they want his territory - all his business. Soze looks over the
faces of his family. Then he showed these men of will what will really
was. He tells him he would rather see his family dead than live another
day after this. He lets the last Hungarian go, and
he waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after
the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he
kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses
they live in and the stores they work in. He kills people that owe
them money. And like that - he's gone! Underground. Nobody's
ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals
tell their kids at night. Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will
get ya. And noone ever really believes." (short) (extended) |

Not one bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says: 'Why so serious?' He comes at me with the knife - 'Why so serious?!'
