The Usual Suspects 1/2 @ 10 PM ET

[Apollymy]

I really wish I could stay up. But my finger hurts (even inebriated) and I’m tired. Got 3 hours sleep last night.

Night, 'Talos! Sleep well!

Assuming this story is told from Agent Kujan and Rabin’s point of view, all we know to be actually true is:

1. The five were rounded up, put into a lineup and interrogated. We don’t know what transpired among them or whether they even ever saw one another after that day.
2. The robbery of NYPD taxi actually did take place. We don’t know if it was Keaton’s idea, or that it was even them who did it. It may not have been.
3. We know Edie Finneran is dead.
4. We know Verbal was apprehended near the harbor after the shootout, and he made a deal with the DA to walk away with just the weapons charge.

Anything else we absolutely know to be true?

Good night, dude!

[SeelixSeesAll]

Poor Talos. Shat happens. Good night!

THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS! :eek:

Another random thought: Verbal seems to young to be Keyser Soze. That origin story for the Keyser Soze myth, even if a tiny small part of it is true, I can’t believe Verbal could have done as much or make as much notoriety for himself in such a short time. I mean, Verbal looks to be mid 40s at the oldest.

This is the first time it occurred to me, but what if Kobayashi is Keyser Soze, and Verbal works for Keyser Soze?

That also occurred to me for the first time with this watching.

1. The fax in the last scene, it shows a balding man, yes. But it also looks like an older balding man, and with narrower nose. Looks more like Kobayashi than it does Verbal.

And, assuming we can believe anything from the “flashbacks”, the older man has a discernible (although hardly Hungarian) accent, while “Verbal” does not.

2. Why would Keyser Soze risk himself getting arrested and spending time in police custody? Why not just send someone else for that part?

Assuming he did, his power and influence might extend far enough to safeguard his escape. Or he’s just confident that he’s that much smarter than the cops.

3. Who killed Edie? Wasn’t Verbal in police custody when she died?

This one bugs me less than any other question. An international supervillain could certainly manage one little murder outside his presence.

1. All we know for sure is that the name is familiar to the feds, since Agent Baer tells Kujan he knows someone who makes a hobby out of Soze’s file. And we know that Kint is using the name for his own purposes, whatever they may be.

Which means:
a. Soze doesn’t exist, and Kint knows it
b. Soze does exist, but Kint believes he doesn’t.
c. Kint works for Soze
d. Kint is Soze

2. Have any of them have been identified as being among the casualties as of yet? All I really remember is them mentioning a kid coming across a body on the beach…

Good point. All of which was probably the point of burning the bodies in the first place.

THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS! :eek:

<picard>You know what chain of command is? It’s the chain I go get to beat you with if you don’t…</picard> Oh, wait. I might have mixed that up with something else. Nevermind.

[BadgerSpoon]

You’re right. Good thing the finger is bandaged. Dang thing has been bleeding all day. I hope I don’t need stitches. I figure its harder to heal since its bending all the time.

Maybe you should see a doctor.

Take pictures first. :eek:

[Apollymy]

The answer to the great question of life, the universe, and everything is 42?

[BadgerSpoon]

maybe he’s the Dread Pirate Roberts

“nice job, Verbal. most likely kill you in the morning”

bwhahaha

Good night 'Talos! Dream of large bandages!

Kobayashi mugs are poorly insulated against sudden floor contact.

“nice job, Verbal. most likely kill you in the morning”

“Bye~~ have fun storming the harbor! Think they’ll do it?”
“It’ll take a miracle.”

[BadgerSpoon]

“Bye~~ have fun storming the harbor! Think they’ll do it?”
“It’ll take a miracle.”

“No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Verbal.”

“No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Verbal.”

Orcas of Unusual Sizes? I don’t think they exist.

[BadgerSpoon]

Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Lex Luthor, The Joker, Blofeld?

Yes.

Morons.

Thanks! I knew I’d heard it before, but I’m not very good with quotes, sometimes. Too A.D.D.
