What do you guys want? You want money? Here, take my watch. It's not a copy, it's real. Mr. Cage, we're with the U.S. government. We need your help. The man you're staying with is the head of a violent international arms cartel. Wait, wait, wait. Javi? He's a ruthless motherfucker. He started small, coastal Spain. But then, he got greedy. Trying to expand his operations east, west. Trail of dead bodies in his wake. Javi Gutierrez? Yes, Javi. I don't think we're talking about the same Javi. We're definitely talking about the same fucking Javi. It's the same fucking guy, man. Okay, okay. So, you're CIA, some kind of intelligence, right? And your job is to read people, yeah? Well, as a thespian, that is also my job. To understand people's characters, to feel what they're feeling. Which is how I know that Javi is not a gun dealer. You're saying your acting ability trumps five years of hard data collected by the world's finest intelligence agency? My nouveau shamanic acting ability? You better fucking believe it. Oh! Hey, guys, this sucks. Uh, Nicolas cage's nouveau shamanic acting ability has determined that we got the wrong guy. So, let's pack up our shit and fucking go home. Hey, man, don't mind him. He's all messed up inside. He just found out his wife's been fucking his dad. That's not all the way true. Look, do you recognize this girl?

You know what I was thinking? Maybe we could have, like, a paranoid thriller-y angle. Ooh. Paranoid angle. Excellent. Like, see those two guys over there?

You know, Nick, I think a kidnapping could give this movie a wider appeal. I mean, it's pretty hard to find an audience these days, right? Unless you're a marvel movie, star wars, whatever, yeah. Yeah, doesn't sound like this is that. No, Vivian, it isn't. This is an intelligent film for grown-ups. Now, personally, I want a smart, character-driven, adult drama about real life, real people. But the reality is, most people need a bit of a hook to get 'em into the theater. Okay, now you're talking about marketing. And if you're talking about marketing, then, yes, you do need a hook to get them into the theater. Well, get 'em into the theater. Come on. All you need is a trailer moment.

Vivian, this is a grounded, adult drama about two tough, sensitive men and their unlikely friendship. They're kind of like dueling Christ figures. Which is obviously a pretty revolutionary idea in itself. But what is not a revolutionary idea is a kidnapping. And if I bring that into the mix, Javi's gonna know something's up. He's a hardliner for tone, and this mission will be blown. Okay? Jesus fucking Christ!

Custom Springfield armory. Made specifically for the film. Is this supposed to be me? It's... Grotesque. Just look at the guns. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for this disturbing statue? Hmm. About $6,000. I'll give you $20,000 for it.
