Badass #2: Blake from Glengarry Glen RossPosted by: April on Sep 2, 2010 |

We all love latter day Alec Baldwin: narrating The Royal Tenenbaums, poking fun at his own image in State and Main, being the best of a very good thing on 30 Rock. But, man, if there is a scene that should follow Baldwin to his grave (and I mean that in the very best way), it's his lone scene in the film adaptation of Glengarry Glen Ross. Written especially by David Mamet for the adaption, it sets up story and the tone but somehow manages not to be an exposition dump. It's so oddly quotable: "Coffee is for closers," "Second place is a set of steak knives," "I'd wish you good luck, but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it." Let's watch:
So here's to you, Blake "Fuck you. That's my name." It would take brass balls to pull off repeating that.
