Capítulo 11 de 22 · 4'00"
The warehouse argument nearly turns into a shootout, with one man taunting another: 'Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy... or are you gonna bite?' Eddie arrives to break it up and tells them what they need is solidarity, not blame. Then he has a surprise to show them.
Are You Gonna Bark or Bite?
Eddie Reveals His Surprise
The crew's argument in the warehouse gets out of hand: White and one of the others nearly come to blows over who is to blame for the failed job. Eddie arrives and forces them to stop, reminding them that they need unity, and then says he has something outside to show them.
The scene is the crew coming apart at the seams. Two men who are supposed to be partners are ready to shoot each other, and the trigger is blame rather than any new evidence. The taunt 'Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy... or are you gonna bite?' reduces the whole standoff to a playground dare, which is roughly how mature the men are being. Eddie's intervention is the only thing that stops it, and his message is practical: they need 'a little solidarity,' and someone has set them up, so the question is who. His image for it — a red-hot poker with a name on the handle — turns the search for the informer into the film's central hunt. Then he opens the trunk, and the argument about a traitor stops being abstract.
