Mike and Gus in “Green Light”

Mike

The good news is for stage three cancer, the guy's doing well. Physically. Mentally, the guy's a disaster. He's gone off the rails over this thing with his wife. My opinion: He's not coming back. Not on his own. Your friends were at his place again, by the way. They drew something on the street outside his house. The Scythe.

Gus

Animals... Does the lawyer know?

Mike

Should he?

Gus

No.

Mike

If you want this guy to produce again, why not just tell him? You're the only thing that stands between him and an axe to the head.

Gus

I do not believe fear to be an effective motivator. I want investment. For now, I'm simply interested in time frame. He will live for the foreseeable future, yes?

Mike

Hmm, foreseeable. Couple of years at least, barring acts of God or men with axes.
