“I just made sure it took” for unedopinion & anonymous.
I could write FOREVER about Nathan Ford and his beliefs and how he never really left the seminary but ultimately became an Avenger of the Lord instead and how biblical narratives of injustice and revenge back his every last fucking move and how that is even more incredible for how he mostly he has absolutely no idea (though everyone else does) until the moment when he looks at his life, looks at his choices, and goes “I should get out before I become a realfacts supervillain†and retires but instead, let’s remember the last scene from The Boiler Room Job:
Latimer: To a one, you rained destruction down upon them, allowing me to profit in the wreckage you left behind.
Nate: You will get out of my business now.
Latimer: But you haven’t even heard my offer.
Nate: I don’t want anything from you.
Latimer: And the ones that got away with it? The companies that covered it up so well, the people they cheated or killed had no idea what happened to them. I know secrets, sins it would take you a thousand years to find.
Nate: What’s the price?
Latimer: 24 hours. But before you descend from heaven with blood-tipped wings and a flaming sword to wreak havoc on these men, you call and give me 24 hours to make my move.
(Nate walks away)
Latimer: Your pride more important than helping people?
(Nate pauses to look back at him, then walks away)
Latimer was never adequately devious to have a chance in hell of winning against Nate Ford, but you have to give him Genre Awareness. He understood the narrative and his place in it.
