You better stop bluffing, pal.Reservoir Dogs · 1992 — 第 14 / 22 章 · 2'56" · B2
When Joe arrives the warehouse is chaos: Orange is dying, Brown is dead, and the men are fighting over who set them up. Nobody can agree, and the only certainty anyone offers is 'I don't know, but somebody did.' Joe cuts through it all with one practical question.
Joe walks into a wrecked warehouse and demands to know what happened. He learns that Orange is dying, Brown is dead, and the crew is split over whether they were betrayed. After sorting through the fighting, Joe turns to the captured police officer and then asks the practical question on his mind.

Good for you. Now, let's go get it.The scene is the crew at its most fractured, and Joe's arrival only sharpens it. Everyone has a version of the disaster: they were 'set up,' the cops were waiting, or nobody betrayed anyone at all. Joe has no patience for the argument, and he is more interested in facts than blame. His one exchange about the prisoner says everything — beat a man long enough and he will confess to anything, even the Chicago Fire — so torture is useless as evidence. What he actually cares about is the money, and he names it in the plainest terms: the stones. The crew can argue forever about loyalty, but the missing diamonds are a question with an answer, and getting that answer is the only thing Joe trusts. It is a small moment that shows how the whole enterprise works: loyalty is talk, but the take is real.
No, he's not dead, but he will be if we don't get him taken care of.A blunt report on Orange's condition: he is alive for now, but will die without treatment.
Maybe he can tell us who the fuck set us up.The hope behind beating the captured officer: he might name whoever betrayed the job.
If you fuckin' beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the Chicago Fire.Joe's warning that torture produces any answer you want, true or not.
All right, first things fuckin' last. Who's got the stones?Joe cutting off the argument to ask the practical question: who has the stolen diamonds?
A police officer they captured, who they hope can tell them who set up the robbery.
He argues that if you beat a man long enough he will confess to anything, even starting the Chicago Fire, so the confession proves nothing.
He asks who has the stones — the stolen diamonds — because recovering the money is what matters most to him.
The police were already waiting at the store, which suggests someone inside passed on information about the job.
Brown is dead after being shot in the head, and nobody knows what happened to Mr Blue.
