The Family2013/I

Fred Blake:
[writing his memoirs] I won't spare myself. I'll tell the story without trying to make myself look good. But in this chapter I'll do the opposite and demonstrate to you that if you take a closer look, I'm a good guy. I'll prove it to you in 10 points. A bit like one of Letterman's Late Show Top 10 Lists. So here we go...

Fred Blake:
10: I am always up front. Always.

[sneaks up and shoots a couple of guys in a car]

Fred Blake:
Number 9: I never look for a scape goat.

[tied up and laughing at thugs that are beating him up]

Fred Blake:
Number 8: If you give me a job, I'll always see it through.

[dunking a guy into liquid nitrogen]

Fred Blake:
Number 7: I've never shown contempt for people who fear me.

[robbing some Hasidic Jews]

Fred Blake:
Number 6: I've never betrayed the guy who gave me my first gun.

[refuses to identify Fat Willy in court]

Fred Blake:
Number 5: I never wished any harm on anybody.

[demonstrates his influence over street cops]

Fred Blake:
Number 4: I lived outside the law, but only outlaws didn't judge me.

[schmoozing with wise guys]

Fred Blake:
Number 3: Anybody who doesn't contradict me can expect nothing but good things from me.

[pays off a photographer to not photograph him]

Fred Blake:
Number 2: In my neighborhood when I was running it, there was never a single robbery on the street.

[glad-handing around town]

Fred Blake:
People lived and slept peacefully.

Fred Blake:
Number 1 of the top 10 reasons why I'm a good guy? I don't like to cause pain for no reason, because all my sadistic urges are satisfied when I cause pain for a good reason.

[beating the plumber with a baseball bat until the bat breaks]

Fred Blake:
Wait, I'm not f***in' finished.

[grabs a 3-pound hammer from the plumber's bag]
