Requiem for the jazz man


After Vincent kills the jazz man, he bends down close to his head and says something. What did he say? It isn’t included on IMDB quodes for the movie.

“Dropped out of Juilliard after less than a year. Tracked down Charlie Parker on 52nd street, who mentored him for the next three years.”

A requiem for a Jazz cat if there ever was one. :)


According to many this scene was poorly recorded. I never had that much trouble understanding the dialogue in it, but what Vincent says there is hard to make out. Nonetheless, this is an all around brilliant scene.

Thanks, DracTarash, I suspected something of the sort. So Vincent, even though he was going to kill the guy regardless, actually played fair as far as his challenge question was concerned.

I don’t like Tom Cruise, but I’ll give him this, he did an exceptional job in this film. Maybe he should collaborate with Michael Mann again.
