Lord Of War Script There are over 500 million fire arms in the worldwide circulation That is one fire arm for every twelve people on the planet The only question is How do we arm the other eleven? You don't have to worry I'm not gonna tell you pack of lies to make you feel good I'm just gonna tell you what happened My name is Yuri Orlov When I was a boy, my family came to America But not all the way Like the most Ukrainians congregated in Brighton beach It reminded us of Black Sea I've soon realized, we just swapped one hell for another Even in hell angel sometimes makes an appearance I have worshiped Eva Fountain since I was ten years old Of course, she did not know I existed I've started to think she had a point But the first years of my life, Little Odessa was to me what it is to the q-train The end of the line Oh! It's not really Yuri Orlov There have been few occassions in the th century when it has been an advantage to be a Jew But in s to escape the Soviet Union Our family pretended to be Jewish Little about my life has been Kosher ever since How is it going brother? He just did not know yet My father took his assumed identity to heart He was more Jewish than most Jews which drove Catholic mother crazy How many times? It is thrift You are not Jewish I like it I like the hat to remind us there is something above us I like that I'm going to temple You are not going to temple. You go to temple more than the Rabbi Get off my back woman God will you ever wise up? Yuri, don't forget to check the specials at the palace Growing up in Little Odessa, murder was in everyday part of life Russian mobsters had also migrated from Soviet Union and when they came to America, their baggage came with them There is always some gangster getting wacked in my neighborhood But,I have never seen with my own eyes I had the snack of showing up five minutes before something went down or, five minutes after. It couldn't have hit me harder if I was the one who murdered and shot You are going to the restaruant business because people are always going to have to eat That was the day I realized my destiny laying for fulfilling another basic human need. The next Sabbath I went to temple with my father However, it was not God I was trying to get close to My contact with Synagoge lended me first Israeli made Uzi submachine guns First time you sell a gun, is a lot like the first time you have sex You have absolutely no idea of what you are doing, but it is exciting and one way or another it is over way too fast Gentlemen! Big fire in small package This little baby uses mm hole points - rounds of simple mags Preferable adjustable size. It's in our nature Earliest human skeletons had spearheads in their heads and ripcages Where have you been? They are going to be aware of dog and me Dog wants to fuck everything that moves. What is the fight and kill like dogs I guess it reminds me to be more human You envy the dog part or being human. If I was going into the gun trade, I was going to aim high Hey, Vitali! Everyday there is people shooting each other You know what I do when I see that? I look to see what guns they are using and I think to myself why not my guns What? There more of those in America than McDonalds Even with all the gangsters around here, margins are too low You have worked out the margins Sure! The real money is in actual wars between countries Yuri! You are no fucking chef I can eat in the restaruant for free, but I still don't eat there Fuck you! May be doing nothing is better than doing this I need you. Brothers in arms Brothers in arms BERLIN ARMS FAIR - Sir! May I interest you in the shelter fire SA They are all the Chinese models. If used against commercial airliner giving them away at . from government to government It was mostly a private club with a lifetime club president That is him! Mutual friend Ilay Curtsman from Brighton Beach Import Export said to contact you. I thought perhaps we could discuss I don't think you and I in the same business. The only option for Vitali and me was under-the-counter gun money I got my first break in Lebanon after the suicide bombing But I wasn't the only local kid making good When United States leaves a war zone they generally don't take the ammunitions. It costs more to bring it back then to buy new stock So, you sell by the kilo? Second hand weapons but they are still OK How many kilos would you like? But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drahmas, rubles, rupies and pounds fucking sterlin army salaries were no better in the s than they are today and some of the brass like Litueanant Colonel Suddern needed to raise money for his private wars. good to make your acquaintance this is bullshit money, Vi maybe This is small fucking potatoes What do you wanna do? More illegal What I would give for a plate of cabbage and potatoes It is not our fight Vi, come on ! It may cause pound of payment, take orders, I was an equal opportunity merchant of death I supplied every army, but the salvation army. I sold Israeli made Uzis to Muslims I sold Communist made bullets to Fascists I hope you are not thinking of selling these, Mr Orlov. Personal use There's a hundred thousand bullets here I'm kind of trigger happy Trigger happy? I even shipped cargo to Afghanistan when they were fighting my fellow Soviets I never sold Usama bin Laden. Not on any moral grounds Back then there were always balance and checks. By the mid s my weapons were represented in of the world's top ten war zones There is no problem living double life It is the triple or quadruple lives get you in the end Back then I carried a French, British, Israeli and Ukranian passport and student visa for the US but that is another story I also pack different briefcases depending on who I was that day and region of the world I was visiting North of Cartagena, Colombia - Without operations like mine, it would be impossible for certain countries to conduct a respectable war. I was able to navigate around those inconvenient little arms embargos There are three basic types of arms deal. White being legal, black being illegal and my personal favorite color, gray. Sometimes I made the deal so commaluted it was hard for me to work out if they are on the level to keep authorities in the dark, I had often spoken code. Rocket launchers were mothers, rockets children, AK- assault rifle was the angel king It's Yuri. The point is, if I had done my job right, an arms embargo should be practically impossible to enforce what? It's got to check out The way I looked at it, what is in there? Painted name in the register is fucking Netherlands I've got a French flag So? Turn the sideways, it is Dutch That is why you are my brother Alright! It doesn't look clean I'm gonna go aboard Change the inner signs of Kristol to KONO Even I was up against an overzealous agent, I had a number of methods for discurging a search. I rutinely mislabeled my arm shipments as farm machinery and, I have yet to meet the lowly-paid customs official who will open a container marked "Radioactive Waste" to verify its contents But my personal favorite is the unique combination of week-old potatoes and, probable heat It smells. Sign of Kristol, North Most importantly I kept a number of intelligence people on the payroll to supply their colleagues with counter-intelligence. The second rule of gun running is always insure, you have a full proof way to get paid, preferably in advance, ideally to an off-shore account That is why I choose my customer so carefully. They tend to have highly developed sense of order They always pay their bills on time. I can't hand this to my fucking bank teller at Chase Manhattan Listen, asshole, you should be thanking me Have you checked the street price today? With the seizures at the border last week, it's jumped thirty percent I sell guns. Diversify I've got standards You don't pay, you don't play Fuck you! The ...
