- All they know is killing.
- So they bring in
independent contractors.

:29:06
- Why are you so upset ?
- Those innocent contractors
brought in are killed,

:29:11
casualties of a war
they had nothing to do with.

:29:14
Look, you're a roofer. Some juicy
government contract comes your way.

:29:18
You got a wife and kids,
the two-story in suburbia.

:29:21
This is a government contract
which means all sorts of benefits.

:29:24
Along come these left-wing militants
who blast everything...

:29:26
within a three-mile radius
with their lasers.

:29:28
You didn't ask for that;
you had no personal politics.

:29:30
- You're just trying
to scrape out a living.
- l don't mean to interrupt,

:29:33
- but what are you talking about ?
- The ending of Return Of The Jedi.

:29:36
My friend is trying to convince me
that independent contractors
working on the Death Star...

:29:41
were innocent victims
when it was destroyed by the rebels.

:29:43
I'm a contractor myself.
I'm a roofer.

:29:46
""Done And Ready Home improvements.""
:29:48
Speaking as a roofer, l can tell you
a roofer's personal politics...

:29:51
- comes into play heavily
when choosing jobs.
- Like when ?

:29:54
Three weeks ago, l was offered a job
up in the hills. Beautiful house.

:29:58
Tons of property.
A simple re-shingling job.

:30:00
They told me if l could finish it
in one day, l would double my price.

:30:04
- Then l realized whose house it was.
- [ Dante ] Whose house was it ?

:30:07
- Dominic Bambino's.
- Baby Face Bambino ? The gangster ?

:30:10
The same ! The money was right,
but the risk was too high.

:30:14
I knew who he was, and based on that,
I turned the job over to a friend.

:30:18
- Based on personal politics.
- Right !

:30:21
The next week, the Foresie family
put a hit on Baby Face's house.

:30:25
- My friend was shot and killed.
Didn't even finish re-shingling.
- No way.

:30:29
I'm alive because l knew the risk
involved in that particular client.

:30:33
My friend wasn't so lucky.
:30:35
Any contractor working on that
Death Star knew the risk involved.

:30:39
If they got killed,
it's their own fault.

:30:42
A roofer listens to this,
not his wallet.

:30:55
They say so much, but they never
tell you if it's any good.
