I’m hoping that it comes across that ‘Mister Winston’ is a scary and dangerous fellow.
He’s is in prison. Evers isn’t going to assume he’s been going to concerts and meeting women. Evers has got only a limited period to spend with him and this walking aubergine wants to waste time on pleasantries?
Ha! I got a good chuckle out of your comment. The big bad guy is less interested in being social and more about being in control of the conversation. He’s also letting Evers know (whether it’s true or not) that he’s still a mean and dangerous S.O.B., even on the other side of the wall.
When I try to go to henchmenonline.com, Norton says that it’s an unsafe site…what’s up with that?
You know, given that Evers really doesn’t want to be there or listen to what this flying purple people eater wants to say, maybe he SHOULD encourage him to ramble on about inconsequentialities. Then, while the guy is regaling him with stories about how he beat some people to death with an ashtray, the guards can saunter in, yell “TIME’S UP!” and Evers can walk out with a shrug. “What can I do, boss? Gotta go!”
Excuse me. I meant lunch tray not ashtray.
You’re right that Evers would rather be someplace else and wouldn’t put up with this stuff otherwise. But he’s going to go along with all the nonsense because he needs to find out why this really bad guy wants him to contact the old girlfriend ‘Lauren.’ Evers also knows that if he doesn’t take the job, then it may fall to some other guy who isn’t such a nice guy. Is there more to the relationship between Evers and this ‘Lauren’ person? Ha! Ha! (Insert evil laugh here.)
Sorry about that. There seems to have been a problem with the code for one of the embedded ads on the site. We’ve removed the code and we should be clean, but it takes awhile for Norton to come back around and re-scan the site and verify that we’re clean again.
This guy is so bad he can beat you to death with a box of Kleenex….
