:28:02
Something just never sat right with me
that second time around.
:28:05
I could never put my finger on it,
but something just wasn't right.
:28:07
- And you figured it out.
- The first Death Star
was manned by the lmperial Army.
:28:11
The only people on board were Storm
Troopers, dignitaries, lmperialists.
:28:15
- Basically.
- So when they blew it up, no problem.
Evil's punished.
:28:18
- And the second time around ?
- it wasn't even done being built yet.
:28:22
- it was still under construction.
- So ?
:28:24
A construction job
of that magnitude would require...
:28:27
a lot more manpower
than the lmperial Army had to offer.
:28:30
I'll bet they brought independent
contractors in on that thing.
:28:32
- Plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers--
- Not just lmperialists.
:28:35
- Is that what you're getting at ?
- Exactly.
:28:37
To get it built quickly and quietly,
they'd hire anybody
that could do the job.
:28:40
You think the average Storm Trooper
knows how to install a toilet main ?
:28:43
- All they know is killing.
- So they bring in
independent contractors.
:28:47
- Why are you so upset ?
- Those innocent contractors
brought in are killed,
:28:52
casualties of a war
they had nothing to do with.
:28:55
Look, you're a roofer. Some juicy
government contract comes your way.
:28:59
You got a wife and kids,
the two-story in suburbia.
:29:01
This is a government contract
which means all sorts of benefits.
:29:04
Along come these left-wing militants
who blast everything...
:29:07
within a three-mile radius
with their lasers.
:29:09
You didn't ask for that;
you had no personal politics.
:29:11
- You're just trying
to scrape out a living.
- l don't mean to interrupt,
:29:14
- but what are you talking about ?
- The ending of Return Of The Jedi.
:29:17
My friend is trying to convince me
that independent contractors
working on the Death Star...
:29:22
were innocent victims
when it was destroyed by the rebels.
:29:24
I'm a contractor myself.
I'm a roofer.
:29:27
""Done And Ready Home improvements.""
:29:29
Speaking as a roofer, l can tell you
a roofer's personal politics...
:29:32
- comes into play heavily
when choosing jobs.
- Like when ?
:29:35
Three weeks ago, l was offered a job
up in the hills. Beautiful house.
:29:38
Tons of property.
A simple re-shingling job.
:29:41
They told me if l could finish it
in one day, l would double my price.
:29:45
- Then l realized whose house it was.
- [ Dante ] Whose house was it ?
:29:47
- Dominic Bambino's.
- Baby Face Bambino ? The gangster ?
:29:51
The same ! The money was right,
but the risk was too high.
:29:55
I knew who he was, and based on that,
I turned the job over to a friend.
:29:59
- Based on personal politics.
- Right !
