Wild Bill

So we're playing poker, and in walks Mel Gibson and sits down to play poker too.

And so...

He sits down and everybody starts to attack him with questions and asking him about the passion of the cross and this and that.

And there's nothing.

And you could see in his face that he was like, fuck.

You know, he was like he wanted to sit down and just be like a normal guy.

I could tell he just wanted just just want to play poker and smoke a cigar and be cool.

That's what he wanted to do.

So I deal.

And then I said, hey, boys, why don't you shut the fuck up and take this rich bastard's money?

That's what I said.

And he looked over at me and smiled, and he said, who are you?

I said, I'm Dr. Bill, Dr. Bill Reese.

And he shook my hand.

He said, thanks, Bill.

And so we started playing poker.

We played poker about an hour and a half, and he got up and left and patted me on the shoulder when he left.

I think that he felt thankful that I allowed him just to be a normal guy for a little while.

Funny that he was sitting next to one of the most infamous assassins in the history of Central America and had no idea.

I didn't know it then either.
