The Devils Advocate
Well I was watching devils advocate today for the second time n surprisingly the dialogues sounded sooo much more powerful than the first time…I guess it was because I paid more attention to the sound than to the visuals this time…..I was soo shaken by 2 conversations between Al pacino n Keanu reeves that I decided to post them…now it may not have the same impact but try to imagine Al pacino saying it.
Excerpt1:walking in the marketplace
Al pacino-What can I say?
Outstanding.
Go figure it, a guy like Moyez...
...living in some subterranean shithole...all the while
he's walking around with $50 million in the bank.
Keanu-You're kidding.
Al-What do you think he's paying us in?
Goat's blood?
Tarzan, we're billing you out
at $400 an hour, my friend.
I don't see a whole lot of pro-bono work
in your immediate future.
Keanu-I figured you came down to make sure
I didn't fuck this up.
Al-Maybe I did.
Don't get too cocky, my boy.
No matter how good you are...
...don't let them see you coming.
That's the gaffe, my friend.
You've gotta keep yourself small.
Innocuous.
Be the little guy.
You know, the nerd, the leper...
...the shitkicking surfer. Look at me.
Underestimated from day one.
You'd never think I was
a master of the universe, would you?
That's your only weakness,
as far as I can see.
Keanu-What's that?
Al-It's the look.
That Florida stud thing.
What is that?
Excuse me, ma'am.
Did I leave my boots under your bed?
Keanu-Never worked a jury that didn't have
a woman.
Al-Ya but, You know what you're missing?
You're missing what I have.
There's this beautiful girl,
just fucked me 40 ways from Sunday...
...we're done, she's walking
to the bathroom, she’s trying to walk...
...she turns...
...she looks...
...it's me.
Not the Trojan army that just fucked her.
Little old me.
She gets this look on her face like:
"How the hell did that happen?"
I'm the hand up Mona Lisa's skirt. That’s why she’s smiling
I'm a surprise, Kevin.
They don't see me coming.
That's what you're missing.
(Asks a shopkeeper) Where's the chicken?
(turns attention back to Keanu after receiving directions in Korean)
There's a chicken, plays tic-tac-toe,
never loses. He's famous.
Never loses, like you.
Come on. I'll show you
the fastest way uptown.
Learn the subways, Kevin.
Use them.
Stay in the trenches.
Only way I travel.
EXCERPT2:takes place in Al pacinos office while a certain eddie barzoon is jogging
al- Was he drunk?
keanu- I doubt it.
He was going running.
What the hell was he talking about?
Al-Eddie's got himself in trouble again
And he wants me to save him.
Only this time, I can't.
Keanu-Why does he think I'm after his job?
Al-You ever have any experience
with manic depression?
Keanu-Not directly, no.
Al-You do now.
(Calls receptionist)
It's me. Get Eddie Barzoon.
He may be out running,
so you might have to page him.
- It's an emergency.
- Yes, sir.
(lookin back at Keanu)
You look like you could use a drink.
Keanu-Yes, thanks.
Al-Eddie Barzoon, Eddie Barzoon.
I nursed him through two divorces,
a cocaine rehab...
...and a pregnant receptionist.
God's creature, right?
God's special creature?
I've warned him, Kevin.
I've warned him every step of the way.
Watching him bounce around
like a fucking game.
Like a wind-up toy.
Like pounds...
...of self-serving greed on wheels.
The next thousand years
is right around the corner.
Eddie Barzoon...
...take a good look because...
...he's the poster child
for the next millennium.
These people...
...it's no mystery where they come from.
You sharpen the human appetite...
...to the point where it can split atoms
with its desire.
You build egos the size of cathedrals.
Fiber-optically connect the world
to every eager impulse.
Grease even the dullest dreams with
these dollar-green...
...gold-plated fantasies until every human
becomes an aspiring emperor...
...becomes his own god.
Where can you go from there?
Wrong way!
Fuck you...
As we're scrambling...
...from one deal to the next...
...who's got his eye on the planet?
As the air thickens, the water sours...
...even bees' honey takes on
the metallic taste of radioactivity...
...and it just keeps coming,
faster and faster.
Help! Stop it!
There's no chance to think, to prepare.
It's buy futures, sell futures...
...when there is no future.
We got a runaway train, boy.
We got a billion Eddie Barzoons
all jogging into the future.
Every one of them is getting ready
to fistfuck God's ex-planet...
...lick their fingers clean...
...as they reach out toward their pristine...
...cybernetic keyboards...
...to tote up their fucking billable hours.
And then it hits home.
You got to pay your own way, Eddie.
It's a little late in the game to buy out now.
Your belly's too full...
...your dick is sore...
...your eyes are bloodshot and
you're screaming for someone to help.
But guess what?
There's no one there!
You're all alone, Eddie.
You're God's special little creature.
Maybe it's true.
Maybe God threw the dice once too often.
Maybe He let us all down
