Brad PITT :: rewrites U.S. history . [Killing them softly (2012)]
"Thomas Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote the words "All men are created equal," words he clearly didn't believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He's a rich white snob who's sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So, yeah, he writes some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl. This guy wants to tell me we're living in a community? Don't make me laugh. I'm living in America, and in America you're on your own. America's not a country. It's just a business. Now fuckin' pay me." - Adriano
And here's the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch... Based on the 1974 novel "Cogan's Trade," by George V. Higgins, the film stars Brad Pitt as Jackie Cogan, a mobster called upon to investigate a robbery at an illegal card game run by an amiable thug named Markie (Ray Liotta). The late James Gandolfini plays a boozing, whoring Mafia hit man. - Adriano
