Jerry Baldwin was 30 years old.
He was the manager of a pizza restaurant.
He lived in an apartment about one
mile（英里）north of the restaurant.
He walked to and from work. When it was raining,
he took the bus.
Jerry loved gangster movies. When
a new one came out, he would go
to the theater（戏院） and watch
the new movie three or four times.
Then, when it went to video,
Jerry would buy the video at Barney’s
Video Store. Jerry had a home
collection of over 1,000 gangster
videos. Old ones, new ones, color,
black and white, English, Spanish,
Japanese--he loved them all. He could
tell you the name of the movie,
the director, the stars, and the plot.
Did you say you liked “Pulp Fiction”?
Well, Jerry would rattle off all the
details（细说） of that movie. And
then he would invite you to his
place to watch it some time. He was a nice guy.
Jerry finally decided that he would
like to own a gun, just like the gangsters.
So he saved his money for a couple
of years. Then he went to a gun
store and bought a used .38 caliber（口径）
revolver（旋转者） for $300. While there,
he also bought a couple of boxes
of ammunition（军火）. The following Saturday
morning, he went to the gun club to
practice with his new revolver.
He was in the club for only
10 minutes when he accidentally
dropped his pistol. The gun
went off, and the bullet went into Jerry’s right knee.
Jerry now walks with a limp（跛行)
and a cane, just like some gangsters.
感想：满好看的
