Darth Eggplant Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 something I wonder about in year one just a small Flower Noir point really, Hector sprouts Don. hmmmm.... let's see, well in The Maltese Falcon Mr Gutman aka the Fat Man has two associates, a small surly fellow named Wilma, and the wonderfully oily Mr. Cairo. now in most film noir films, the big man Hector is the sort who always has a goon waiting in the wings for just such a purpose. now Hector Don and Domino meet in Don's dark curtain drawn room, obviously because Hector does not wish to be seen so if Hector does not want to be seen it means he does not want to be implicated, and so would he shoot Don? Now if Hector had a Mr. Cairo with him , then Mr. Cairo would do the dirty work. but since he did not have a Mr. Cairo present would Hector shoot Don, implicating himself in front of a witness? Domino. I think not. I think it should have played out with Hector explaining to Don that he was angry, he could get angry, and incompetance especially at the top is not to be tolerated. and so I think he should have explained to Don that Don was in charge, and that Don was to stupid to be in charge and was becoming a liability. And to teach Domino and Don a valuable lesson, Hector would have Don sprouted. BUT Hector should of as he spoke to Don. causually extended the gun towards Domino. such a dramatic device teaches: incompetance and stupidity is punishable by death. promotion occurs through Darwinism. and Loyalty is shown at the point of a sword, and it's a gamble but If I (Hector) hand the gun to my lieutenant, will he shoot me or will he follow instructions? it is also a cruel pleasure (a luxury of the rich and powerful) and poetic irony to watch Don's face as Domino his subordinate usurps him. AND it gives Hector leverage against Domino. part of the code. I ordered a hit, you carried it out, yes bad me for thinking it but even badder you for doing it. at any rate it is how Lucasarts made the game, I just would have liked to have seen my Flower Noir version of events transpire.
