Επαγγελματίες Πολιτικοί Χορεύουν το Χορό της Βροχής

Ένας τύπος σου λέει πως αν τον πληρώσεις θα κάνει να βρέξει. Τον πληρώνεις. Αν κι εφόσον βρέξει, χρεώνεται την επιτυχία. Αν κι εφόσον δεν βρέξει, εφευρίσκει λόγους για να του πληρώσεις κι άλλα.

Οι επαγγελματίες πολιτικοί λένε πως αν πληρώσουμε φόρους και χάσουμε τις δουλειές μας θα σωθούμε από τη χρεοκοπία. Μένουμε άνεργοι και πληρώνουμε και τους φόρους. Αν κι εφόσον δεν χρεοκοπήσουμε θα χρεωθούνε την επιτυχία. Αν κι εφόσον χρεοκοπήσουμε, θα μας εξηγήσουνε γιατί πρέπει να παραμείνουμε άνεργοι και να πληρώσουμε κι άλλους φόρους.

Stringer:       Somethin' funny 'bout that?
                  'Cause I look in the paper and I see all these federal grants comin' down
                  but nothin' for B- and-B.
Levy:           You're expecting what?
Stringer:       Payout. A big payout for what we put in, man.
                  Federal dollars on them Howard Street rehabs.
Levy:           You gave money up front?
Stringer:       250,000, yep.
Levy:           To Clay Davis.
Stringer:       How you know?
                  What you sayin'?
                  He's runnin' game?
                  Naw, hell no, he ain't that brazen.
Levy:           Lemme guess.
                  He told you about the faucet.
                  Or was it the goose that laid the golden egg?
                  You ever actually meet the man?
                  Did you ever actually see any of your cash reach anyone in authority?
Stringer:       Yeah, I met the guy at the federal building.
                  Yeah, I met him.
Levy:           Yeah, what office?
Stringer:       He came down to the lobby.

Levy:           (he laughs)

                     He rainmade you. A guy says if you pay him, he can make it rain.
                     You pay him.
                     If and when it rains, he takes the credit.
                     If and when it doesn't, he finds reasons  for you to pay him more.

                  Clay Davis rainmade you.
Stringer:       Naw, man, he got them building permits in no time at all, man.
                  I mean, we bribing these motherfuckers.
                  He got the city contractor's money back.
Levy:           How much?
Stringer:       35,000 so far.
Levy:           On a quarter million you gave him?
Stringer:       It's for bribing the motherfuckers.
Levy:           There are no bribes!
                  You really think a state senator is going to risk his salary and his position
                  by walking into a federal office with a briefcase full of drug money?
Stringer:       I seen Chunky... Chunky Coates.
Levy:           Chunky Coates gets his grant money same way everyone does.
                  He fills out applications, he makes sure the plans meet spec,
                  then he prays like hell.
                  This is an old game in this town, and Clay Davis?
                  That goniff was born with his hand in someone's pocket.
                  I just wish you'd have run it by me sooner.
