I'm alone

Marv is the owner of a bar, eight years ago. Now this is only one of the strongholds for the gang to transport "packages", so in fact, he is no longer a complete boss, but his name is still on the sign at the door.

For many years, Marv had a bad time. In front of the gang, he was just an ordinary addict. At any rate, he once had a special seat for him in a bar, but it was eight and a half years ago. Now he, his vegetative father is lying on the hospital bed, and he owes some money outside and cannot be repaid. The only bar has "packages" with money in circulation from time to time. He can only watch, fucking life.

The special seat in the bar was already just a normal seat. Millie, an old woman who owed $140 to the bar, was sitting there smoking a cigarette.

Marv started to think boldly, he hated life now, he wanted to go to Europe. He found two friends who were taking drugs together to rob the bar. The gangster quickly found him and gave an unspoken warning. The police also called in. Fortunately, this matter was resolved shortly afterwards. The "good-hearted man" wrapped the money stained with blood, together with the arm of one of the robbers with a broken watch, in a package and sent it to the back door of the bar, his cousin. The broken arm that Bob found was also dealt with.

The gangsters are here again, they are always like that, you don't know when they will come, like a hanging knife, it will not fall, it is irritating and crazy.

The next time the "package" is delivered will be on the night of the Super Bowl final.

Bob is a person who doesn't talk much. If you pay attention, you will find a shallow scar on his right eyelid. Just like him, he doesn't have a strong sense of existence.

In the bar, he invited everyone to drink for Richie Whelan, who had been dead for many years. He never rushed away from the bar. Millie, who was sitting in the non-smoking area smoking a cigarette, left. He went to church every day, sitting in a chair in the back row, and never received it. Holy communion.

One night, when he was wearing an inconspicuous thread cap, he heard a soft whimper, and he picked up a dog at the door of a woman's house.

He somewhat liked the puppy that was thrown away in the trash after being abused. He seemed to like this woman a little too. Her name was Nadia. She was a waiter. When we met for the first time, he noticed the scar on her neck. Take care of the dog together, buy things for the dog together, and walk the dog together. She told him that the scar on her neck was caused by herself. She said that she didn't like herself a little bit. She talked with him and didn't talk about anything. It was amazing. When he was with her, he couldn't help but secretly look at her.

It's okay to be threatened by her ex-boyfriend Eric, he only cared that he accidentally asked Nadia directly about her ex-boyfriend, which made Nadia angry. It's a little strange, it's just a question, she gets angry, Bob's face is obviously confused, and he can't help but ask Marv.

Marv noticed Eric, the day of the Super Bowl was almost here, and if he missed this time, a lot of money was about to slip away in front of him. There was another old friend who robbed him last time. He solved him. He was useless. Eric looks good, and Marv wants to talk to him about this collaboration.

Eric decided to ask Bob for $10,000 and buy out the dog. On the day of the Super Bowl deal, Bob agreed to his surprise, and Eric went to Nadia's house excitedly and coerced Nadia to appreciate his upcoming feat.

The night of the Super Bowl is very hot, a lot of wine, a lot of people, and a lot of "packages". In the latter half of the night, the bar slowly returned from the hustle and bustle to silence. Nadia sat down in front of the bar, and Bob watched her with tears and told him that Eric had brought a gun, not long ago.

Bob took out 10,000 dollars, which did not surprise Eric. Taking the money from morning to night is in line with his understanding of this honest man. But Eric wants more than that. According to the cooperation with Marv, he still has to "package" at two o'clock. The woman shivering and crying next to him was also his bargaining chip.

Bob still looked that expressionless, and suddenly he began to tell a story.

More than ten years ago, when Marv was the owner of this bar, a young man owed Marv money. Marv asks for money and he has no way out of the kid. Bob did it.

Bob stated, "I shot him twice in the face, then covered his head with a towel, stabbed him twice in the heart, he would bleed like this, I put him in the bathtub and looked at him He bleeds to death. After he died, I put him in an oil tank, poured washing powder and lye, and sealed it up."

Every step is very clear, and there is still a faint expression on his face. He asked Eric, do you know the name of the young man?

01:59

Richie Whelan, the name Eric is very familiar. When he brags to people around him for so many years, this missing boy who could not find the body is his talk.

2:00

Bob shot Eric in the face twice.

(The title comes from the scene that I remember the most. The gang has demonstrated in front of Bob so many times before and intimidated, forcing him to do anything. Bob did not show obvious emotions. He always endured silently. He was very patient, including him. He had been advising Marv many times before, as well as the police detective's many probing, and Eric's threats, he didn't seem to be anything, at least it seemed.

When that person asked him to say that he was alone, I felt a little bit of aggrieved and sad.

Bob pressed his jaw, his eyes hurt a little, he said: "I'm alone"

Fortunately, the dog was still there, and Nadia finally put on her coat and walked towards him somehow.

Who can reject such a Bob, I mean, Tang Tiantian is really good. )

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.
