AS I WATCH DASSIN'S THIEVES' HIGHWAY,

I can’t help but think how incredibly relevant Nick’s (Richard Conte) rage toward FRUIT KING FIGLIA is. There is a scene in which, finally defeated by Nick, Figlia says something to the effect of, “why won’t you just take the money and stop beating me.” In response, Nick absolutely wilds out on Figlia, beating him to the ground, proving that it’s not even about the
FUCKING MONEY ANYMORE, MAN.

why won’t u just take the money!?
