I fax over my resume and a cover letter to Dr. Purrizzo. And about a day later he calls me. I ask him about the job and in the sweetest voice he says to me “Sure the job is still open Andy, come on in for an interview, how about tomorrow about 1:00. Do you know where my office NOW is?” I said that I did not, so he gave me directions.
The next day at 1:00 I am in his office, his secretary calls to tell him that I am here, and I go in to see him. I sit in the high back leather chair and all of a sudden he explodes with anger.
“EITHER YOU ARE THE DUMBEST MOTHERF*CKER ON THE PLANET, OR YOU HAVE GOT THE BIGGEST SET OF BALLS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!” “What the hell are you talking about?” I answer.
He says “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO TO YOU? YOU STROLL IN HERE LIKE YOU HAVE NO FEAR OF ME AT ALL WHEN YOU ARE F*CKING MY WIFE UP AT THAT SCHOOL OF YOURS, AND THEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE RUINED MY CAREER“, and he lifts his hand from behind his desk and he has a gun in it.
“Do to me?” I say, “For what? What did I do?” “Don’t even try and play dumb with me, I’ve been kicked off the board and I’m out of the hospital because of you!” he says. And then I remembered everything, I said “how do you blame me for what you did, don’t you EVER forget that you came after me, I was just a kid minding my own business, and YOU wanted to lock me up and cut out my brain just because I wouldn’t admit to doing something that I didn’t do.
THEN you kidnap me and almost kill me with your drugs! As for f*cking your wife, yes Mrs. Purrizzo showed up a few times, but I NEVER did anything with her, I turned her down every time. BESIDES, that happened a long time ago, and if anyone owes anything it’s YOU owing me an apology and you can start by giving me a job.”
He drops the gun and puts his hands on his head and shouts out
“This is f*cking unbelievable!..
YOUR LYING! YOUR TELLING ME THAT SHE SHOWED UP BEGGING YOU TO F*CK HER AND YOU TURNED HER DOWN!
SEVERAL TIMES! AND IT DIDN’T HAPPEN A LONG TIME AGO..
IT’S BEEN 18 MONTHS.. ANDY!”
I said “That’s correct, I never touched Mrs. Purrizzo at Rochester“. Then he said “We’ll find out what happened” and he pulls out a little shiny ball on a string and starts to wave it in front of me from behind his desk I get up and say “are you kidding me with this“. He picks up the gun and tells me to sit back down in the chair and to look at the ball. I am out within seconds. I hear him yelling “I GOT HIM” “I GOT HIM“. From what I can remember he then has me go over to his examining table, and he starts to question me.
I tell him that I really didn’t sleep with his wife in college and that I know who did. Then all of a sudden I remember freaking out and yelling “U.S. GOVERNMENT SECRET PROJECT 35765XXXX VIOLATION OF THIS MIND CAP IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH etc..etc!”
When I leave his office I am sweating and the nurse is looking at me like I have two heads on my shoulders. He calls me two days later and tells me that I got the job. So for the rest of that break, I parked cars for Dr. Purrizzo at the HO-HO-Kus Inn. After the break, the two guys who had slept with Dr. Purrizzo’s wife and her friend, the woman with the black hair, show up for lifting one day and they have had the living shit beaten out of them by the Mafia
April 1990 – As the spring comes, Adolph brings me into a room. Mr. Green is there. He tells me that the “rules have changed and that now the rules for retirement have changed. I must now do 25 missions in order to retire not the 10 I was promised. I tell him that “that’s utter bullshit and we both know it.”
It was an obvious attempt to get me to do more assassinations, but I was fighting the programming. I tell him that I have run my 10 missions and even if the rules have changed I still get the old law because the offer was made at the time it applied to me so I get “Grandfathered” in, and if he doesn’t like it he can speak to my lawyer. Then he asked me if I had a lawyer and I said “NO” but I would get one for this. And that there was no way that I was going to do anymore because I was retired. Mr. Green starts to freak out and he tells me that if I don’t do it he will kill me right here and he puts a gun to my head.
