Quote: Indian Runner

[wowie]

This is room 202, practically at the top of the stairs, which has been dressed as Frank’s crash pad. Mortensen walks in and surveys its detritus. He takes a washcloth from the room’s sink, folds it, and drapes it over the railing at the foot of the bed…no, not just yet. First, he goes to the bottle of Southern Comfort that sits on the dresser, lies on the bed, and puts the bottle between his legs to open it. Then he splashes some sour mash on the washcloth and re-drapes it. With his thumb over the top, he sprinkles more over the sheets and replaces the bottle. Finally, he ponders the room’s Bible: Should it go over the bed? No. Under the pillow? No.

Then he seems to get an idea: he grabs his switchblade, inserts it as a bookmark, and places the Bible on the bed. There.

Sean Penn Bites Back, Christopher Connelly
Premier, October 1991

I never considered using a switchblade as a bookmark, but a good idea is a good idea! ;)

Great idea if it's a small book you have in your purse and you're about to be mugged ;)

Having the artist's eye for detail, it makes sense he's do some set decoration to help him build the character. The clever hottie.

Mmmmm can never resist bad-boy Frankie! The quote is new to me too although the idea of Viggo doing that seems very typical ;-)
