Source text - English John liked money. Only one snag. Money didn’t like him. Every time he had made a bundle, something happened. He’d win at the races and some big-boobed bimbo would take it all from him. When he worked legitimately, which wasn’t a steady activity, his ex-wife’s lawyer was on his case within hours of his first paycheck.
Anyway, a big job was going down, and he was in on it. He studied himself in the rearview mirror. As far as he was concerned he was a real lady killer. And if he had the money to back up his imagined charm, he was a hotshot with women. This was the big score he had been waiting for all his life, and there was no way he was going to blow it.
Translation - Italian A John piacevano i soldi. C’era solo un problema. Lui non piaceva ai soldi. Ogni volta che faceva un po’ di grana, succedeva qualcosa. Vinceva alle corse... e una qualche bambola con le tettone lo ripuliva completamente. Quando aveva un lavoro regolare, il che non accadeva tutti i giorni, l’avvocato della sua ex moglie gli si metteva alle calcagna nel giro di qualche ora dalla prima busta paga.
E ora era capitato un lavoro grosso, e lui c’era dentro. Si studiò nello specchietto retrovisore. A parer suo era uno che faceva davvero impazzire le donne. E quando aveva un po’ di soldi a dare una mano al suo fascino immaginario, era uno che faceva strage di donne. Questo era il colpo grosso che aspettava da tutta la vita, e per nessuna ragione al mondo l’avrebbe mandato all’aria.
