You know everyone looks at Dick and immediately they think asshole, but Dick has a response to that

"No actually I'm three inches away from being such a thing!"

Yeah you heard him right

"Ok so on with business, or so it seems. When you first came to this world, what initially caught your eye? Was being a day by day average civilian just not cutting it? Did you see the cash flow, the drugs, the women and think to yourself, "Fuck my day job!?"

SALUTE!

"I don't blame you really, I too hated the life in which there was a constant repetition is day to day activities as well. Wake up in the morning, fight your wood, drink some coffee, yell at the kids, complain about breakfast, drop kick the bluebird, and head to work. Fun yes? Fuck no! You consider that fun? Obviously not since your here committing felonies on a daily basis. Is it the adrenaline rush? I know!!!! Me too!!! You know when I was a civilian the only time I could say I even felt the way I do now is the time I got caught with the prostitute in the fiction section of the public library. I chose fiction because I like to stare at covers of space odysseys while I make love, that's between you and us though of course."

"So what was it that made you come, see, and want to come again? Do you have a specific story as too why you chose this path or do you just love having the power of steel against your hip? I sure do, that's why I hump rail cars on my spare time."

Dick steps down, rolls up a doobie, lights it and smiles vigorously

Paddy listens to the man’s speech. Smiling a little bit to himself.

My life of crime didn’t really start with this thing of ours. I had kind of an early start back in Boston. I grew up in poverty, and fucking hated it, because I mean… Who actually enjoys that shit? You can’t do a damn thing and everyone’s got their dirty attitudes. Back in Boston though, the craze was robbing banks and that was about it. I began realizing how common it actually was and decided to join up with a little crew from my neighborhood. The money began flowing in like fucking rain and as you stated, I got a rush out of it as well. I started helping out my family, put my mother in a nice home, paid for Grandmother’s operation, things like that ya know? After a while we started to get some attention from one of the local mobs, and we decided to spread out our business a little by taking on contracts. Killing’s good business out there, and the money just kept on coming in. I found out who my father was after I had started to make a little name for myself in Boston. Decided that I would use his connections to get into this thing and never really turned back from there. But what keeps me coming back? I believe it’s the excitement, call me fucked up in the head but the shit we do is fun. Oh, and the money helps too.

Now, would ya mind passing that joint? I’ll gladly match ya if ya’s want.

I remember coming home from those hard days making the cash.. soaked from head to drop, the water dripping onto the wooden floor which was my house.. over time, the water would still fall but the floor started to become tile then marble and now I sit in a golden office sipping fine liquor and playing cards.

It wasn't easy and it took time, along with some bad and good days.

Slams a hand on the table.. nearly knocking some chips onto the ground

I guess its the chance, the shot that you can do better, get further and the sky being open kept me inspired.. plus a drug and gambling addiction but we don't talk about that anymore.

Look at Dick.. wait.. no he doesnt.. looks at Richard.. ahh fuck it..Tony takes a shot and laughs to himself

Passes Paddy the joint

"No need to match, you sharing your upbringing was more then enough. Although I could use a bag of shrooms to take camping with me this weekend."

Smiles and then turns to Tony

"Boss, I'm proud that you can admit to your alcohol and gambling addiction. I have been to plenty of therapy sessions, and even those who had feet fetishes while dressed up in viking outfits were not even so open about their issues. You truly are a brave man."

Takes a shot with his boss and awaits the next speaker
