Seriously though why the fuck would you say that you're

He died after getting shot and came back to life to shoot Mr.Blonde. After his rebirth he'd learnt what it meant to be loyal, both to his fellow cop and to a criminal, and by extension his fellow human being. He died paying the price for his new-found values.

It took me years to realize Mr.Orange wasn't begging to get sent to the hospital because he got shot but rather because he knew the staff would contact the police and he'd be in safety.

Well obviously. How else would he end up in northern Minnesota?

Their bond was a bit contrived. Only major flaw in an otherwise film classic.

Or cuffs,he did shoot that lady who shot him because he was carjacking her with a gun. Undercovers arent even allowed to smoke reefer or duck hookers.

This. The whole one set stage of the warehouse makes it more like a play than a film.

He would be delirious from blood loss at this point.

he was busting his balls
