What Was the Pitch?
To Guy by Roman & Minnie? That’s what makes me wonder the most out of everything in this movie is thinking about what the proposition might have been & exactly how did they go about telling him it.
It’s not discussed in the movie, which I understand is quite faithful to the book, so I wonder if it’s in the book at all. C’mon I mean they had to have flat out told Guy the truth, there’s no other way around it. That conversation must have been wild if you have any sort of imagination at all. “Hi! We’re Roman & Minnie Castevet, & you may not have known this when we first met but we’re just a couple of your local everyday depraved NY Satanists! Welcome to the Bramford in Manhattan where down under doesn’t mean Australia but hell. Nice to meet ya!
Yeah we need your wife we’re afraid, not for a quote on quote ‘virgin’ sacrifice because obviously that’s done with already but we want her to you know do the nasty with ol' scratch so she can bear his child! Don’t worry we are all going to be there, as naked as jay birds, you included, chanting, dancing, singing, being our happy satanic selves.
She must wear the pendant of a dead woman, & we’ll work on the drugged chocolate mousse so Satan can ease right in there with no problems. Worried? Don’t let doubt enter your mind! Did we mention we pay well? Want to be the next say Robert Redford, Ryan O’Neal? Just give us your say so & you’re on your way! There's also the little matter of your soul. None of this is a problem? God you’re a sport! We're glad that you're the one we chose!”
Guy, perverted narcissist that he is, i have to wonder if he even flinched throughout all of this. The fact that he wasn’t too stunned to even respond & gave his consent as well as go on to be a active participant in all the proceedings makes me THAT much more despicable. For God's sake, wasn’t any of this up for debate? Sheesh! Fucking guy, that Guy. Who the hell could've listened to what they must have been saying with a straight face & say, "Uh,...err....OK"
Man all this crap must have been wild, but too bad the movie skips over all of this. It makes Guy all the more reprehensible when you think about it. What say you all?
