The very ordinary bar across the street. The owner is Marv and his cousin is Bob. The two of them take care of the business together. The bar has been open for some years, and there are always some regular customers, including the poor old woman Millie. In fact, she has been there for a long time. Without paying for the alcohol, Bob would still pay her on credit, even if she knew that she was living on relief money.

Bob is a good person.

Bob goes to church every morning at 8 o’clock. He should be a devout believer. When Bob sees the abandoned dog in the trash can, he has to break into someone’s yard to rescue the dog; Bob is a responsible person. As for he will not easily decide whether he will keep a dog, because he will not give up after the decision; Bob helps Marv clean up the mess and helps him keep a secret; Bob starts to feel a little bit about a girl because she looks kind and treats dogs. Loving; Bob has principles and measures in his work, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said, and don't do anything if he shouldn't do it.

In short, Bob is a good person who is loyal, caring, responsible, principled and measured.

But everyone has an unknown side.

Just like that gangster Eric, he boasted that he killed someone when he met everyone. In fact, he would tremble all over the time when he decided to kill. Bob didn’t blink his eyes when he decided to kill. So when he helped Marv deal with the wreckage in the plastic bag, he was skilled Like a packer; there is a demon in Bob's heart. When Eric mentioned in the bar that the girl had experienced self-harm, the glaring eyebrows that were set off under the red light were the expression of the devil. Bob knows himself enough to hide his terrible side deeply. He wants to be a good person. Faith, women and dogs are all medicines to repair the evil in his heart, so Bob asks the girl to help repair the statue of the angel.

When Eric told him how to treat dogs, when Eric took the girl Bob liked in the bar, when Eric explained his intention to come to the bar, the devil was called out again, and Bob said it for ten years. The truth about the former missing corpse may be to hack the more than 20,000 US dollars, perhaps for his cousin, or perhaps he has done similar things before, whatever, when Bob faces himself in the mirror, the demon also Looking at him.

At least it still protected the woman and the dog.

So is Bob a good person? Will God forgive him?

At least I heard footsteps.

The Drop quotes

  • [first lines]

    Bob: [narrating] There are places in my neighborhood no one ever thinks about. You see them every day and every day you forget about them. These are the places where all the things happen that people are *not* allowed to see. You see, in Brooklyn, money changes hands all night long. It's just not the kind you can deposit in a bank. All that money needs to end up somewhere. They call it a drop bar. A bar the bosses choose randomly each night to be the safe for an entire city. You never know up front when *your* bar becomes the drop bar. You just take all the city's dirtiest money and bag men come and go from all over town and nobody ever sees it coming. Nobody ever sees it going. And then they could tell you to be the drop bar next week. Or maybe even next year.

    Bob: The point is, you never know. In the meantime, me, I just tend bar. And wait.

  • Nadia: He killed a kid named "glory days."

    Bob: Yeah. I heard that. Yeah, I heard that. Richie Whelan. And... Why?

    Nadia: I don't know. He's not a big fan of "why," Eric.
