He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power.

scene 65 — INT. RABIN'S OFFICE - DAY - PRESENTI'm interested, sure.

scene 121 — INT. RABIN'S OFFICE - DAY - PRESENT
