The Source of All Evil-Money
Terrence 2022-01-13 08:01:48
For money, Myra, who relied on physical fraud, had to partner with Roy, who was a scammer. Roy refused. Roy's mother Lily was betting on horses for the gang boss Bobo. Myra reported that he had stolen Bobo money. In the chase, Myra was killed when she killed Lily. Lily was found disguised as herself and trying to steal Roy’s money. She said that she was not Roy’s mother and wanted to seduce him. The two were originally ambiguous and they kissed. When Roy accidentally killed Roy when she was confused, she cried and took Roy's money away. The woman is really cruel.

Lilly Dillon: I was hoping we could play it straight with one another.
Roy Dillon: I guess not.
Lilly Dillon: I guess you won't be getting a straight job, either.
Roy Dillon: Not this week.
Lilly Dillon: Not ever.
Roy Dillon: It's up to me. I'm strictly short con. It's nothing but small time stuff. I can walk away from it anytime I want.
Lilly Dillon: Where have I heard that before?
Roy Dillon: Yeah, but I'm in control.
Lilly Dillon: Sure. You're only 25 years old, already you can lay down four grand without even turning a hair. Grift's like anything else, Roy. You don't stand still. You either go up or down. Usually down, sooner or later.
Roy Dillon: Well, I'll let it be a surprise, then.
