The receptionist tells him to go inside and he closes the door behind him. The mustachioed boss clasps his hands while turning off the flatscreen.
Jacob No matter what the situation, the main characters never bite the big one.
Hey boss, I had a bit of a problem doing a deal in the Bronx.
The Boss
What kind of problem? Did the customer not pay?
Jacob
I accidentally killed the guy. I had to. He was trying to kill me.
The Boss
Was Sam with you? How come he's not here now?
Jacob
He had to take care of something. You know him, always trying to get with the ladies.
The Boss
No I don't know him. To me he's just a liability. I heard from my guy at 174th that Sam wants to leave the business, get his pink slip.
Jacob
I- I don't know anything about that. That guy must be on drugs or something. There's no way my man would leave, it's been too good to him.
Jacob positions his hand to the back of his head. The boss stares him down and causes Jacob to feel uneasy.
The Boss
I want you to take care of it. You're the one who brought him in. You're the one who's going to take him out. And don't do it so loud either. Here, take this.
The Boss hands Jacob a handgun equipped with a silencer from one of his drawers on his desk.
The Boss
Meet me at 68th st, near Hunter. The parking lot nearby is nice and empty. The camera on the 3rd floor is broken. No one will know. We'll put the body in the trunk of my car and take him to the city dump. Be there at 5:30am tomorrow. Tell him he needs to meet you to pick up some new product. If he refuses, tell him he'll get an extra $10,000. I'll bring the money. And if you do what I want you to do kid, that $10,000 is yours. If you don't, my men will find you and give you a nice little bow tie.
The Boss stick out his tongue and grasps it lightly with his hand. Zoom to the tongue and then up to his eyes. A wink follows from the Boss then back to Jacob who stares blankly out the window.
Jacob
You got it boss, I'll tell him today. And don't worry, I always follow through. You rest assured that tomorrow only 2 men are going to walk out of that parking lot.
Act 3: Scene 1: Back to same first shot with Jacob pointing the gun at Sam in the parking lot.
The Boss
I always liked a good action movie. Too bad the main character here bites the big one. Go on Jacob. I have a meeting with the Columbians at noon. You know I don't like to be late.
The Boss throws away his cigarette and motions for Jacob to hurry.
Jacob
Anything you say boss. Just tell me one thing.
Jacob turns and faces the Boss, Sam still with his eyes closed.
Jacob
Are you really a fan of action movies boss?
The Boss
The Boss
So? Do what I say and shoot!
Jacob
Sure thing boss.
Jacob lifts his gun quickly and shoots the Boss in the face. A moment of panic on Jacob's face. Sam opens his eyes and sees the Boss dead on the floor of the parking lot. The camera pans through the Boss's dead body starting at the feet and ending at the head, then moves to the pool of blood forming.
Sam
Did you just do what I think you just did?
Jacob
Yeah, I guess so. I'm done dealing anyway. Want to go get some pizza?
Sam
What about the body? We need to get rid of it.
Jacob
No one else knows we're here. I'll just call the Columbians and tell them one of their men took out the Boss.
Sam
Won't anyone go after us?
Jacob
Nah, besides, school's almost over and California has a sweet science program.
Sam
I really thought you weren't going to stick to the plan. Pauses and looks at the body. Heh, let's go.
Both Sam and Jacob enter the car parked near the parking lot and drive away. A shot of Jacob running to Sam and telling him of the Boss's plan and the two devising a way to kill the boss instead is shown.
FADE OUT. The END.

That sums up her mother's life to her, and she does not want the same life for herself. Another interesting aspect of the novel is Esther's relationship with men, many of whom represent her missing father in one way or another. Her relationship with Constantin and most of the other men in the novel is platonic, and she trusts these men with certain aspects of her personality. She "sleeps" with
Eventually, Esther sneaks into the cellar with a bottle of sleeping pills -- prescribed to her for the insomnia she was experiencing, without any other real attempts to understand or solve the underlying problems of her mental upset -- having left a note for her mother saying she was taking a long walk. Esther then swallows as many of the pills as she is able, and it appears to
How Esther is a Model of a Self-Sufficient Woman in The Bell Jar Introduction Sylvia Plath’s first person narrator in The Bell Jar comes across as a Holden Caulfield type—a disaffected, somewhat lost, but highly intelligent individual capable of critical thought and therefore exceedingly lonely in a world of conformists, who seem to show no desire to question anything or to know themselves. The narrator of Plath’s novel is Esther Greenwood—a young
"Doctor Gordon twiddled a silver pencil. "Your mother tells me you are upset." I curled in the cavernous leather chair." (Plath, 1999, p.128) "A few more shock treatments, Mrs. Greenwood," I heard Doctor Gordon say, "and I think you'll notice a wonderful improvement." (Plath, 1999, p.145) Insulin therapies merely make her miserable and gain weight. Only her own bonding with the female psychiatrists on staff, and overcoming her sexual
Mental Illness In the social environment, mental illness is a serious condition and with an advancement of technology and modern science, the physiological issue surrounding a mental illness is not well understood. The stigma that place on people suffering from mental illness is so much making people pretending that they are not suffering from the problems. Although, many people were not born with a mental problem, however, the societal burden can
This reveals an important connection between capitalism and participatory governments, and a look at how De Soto views the relationship between democracy and capitalism further demonstrates how countries, and especially developing countries, can more effectively grow and protect capital. Naturally, De Soto views democracy and capitalism as two forces existing in a symbiotic relationship, but only when the political and economic systems are integrated at the same level. This means
