John Wick Bar Scene
Quick dialogue from movie
Viggo Tarasov: It’s not what you did, son, that angers me so. It’s who you did it to.
Iosef Tarasov: Who? That fucking nobody?
Viggo Tarasov: That “fuckin’ nobody”… is John Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him “Baba Yaga.”
Iosef Tarasov: The Boogeyman?
Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasn’t exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.
Iosef Tarasov: [stunned] Oh.
Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will… something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. It’s over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his fucking dog.
This scene basically sets up the rest of the movie. The quote highlighted in red is one of a most know, iconic and resonating quotes from the entire movie. From the way Viggo Tarasov describes John Wick, you can already imagine just what happened at the bar.
My scene will take place in a dim lit older bar. The bar table will be a “L” shape made out of thick dark wood with lights hanging from the ceiling. Three bodies will be spread around the bar: the first, still sitting on the stool with their chest and head face down on the table, maybe with a pencil sticking out of their head and the second and third will be somewhere on the ground.
To make sure this scene is easily noticeable, certain objects or references from movie will be placed around. Next to one of the bodies on the ground will say “Baba Yaga” written out of blood. As said above, Baba Yaga was John Wicks nickname and means Boogeyman in Russian. Another object will the pencil which will be protruding from the head of the guy leaning on the bar. The last object will be one or more gold coins on the counter which is what John Wick and other characters in the movie use as pay and currency. The coins could either be paying for the drinks or the clean up as seen earlier in the movie.
