I was rewatching this movie, and I think the pawnshop scene is still one of the best scenes in the movie, especially in the acting and the messages being conveyed.
In the movie, Ray(FPjr) who was still bruised and battered from his injuries from the previous night goes to sell the expensive (I'm guessing) engagement ring.
He has a mixture of sadness and anger in his eyes.
He then tells the pawnshop guy he wants to get that pistol instead.
The guy looks up at him and sees the serious and determined, also angry expression on Ray's face and says something like: "You sure you want to go this way?"
what made this scene memorable for me was that the scene was telling two different stories based on the two char's interpretations.
As the audience, we know that ray was intending to buy the guy to save julie (JLH) and kill willis. But the pawnshop guy thought differently.
Seeing ray handing over an expensive engagement ring and looking bruised and battered he thought that ray had just experienced a nasty break up/heart break.
Perhaps he tried to propose to a girl he loves and got rejected and beaten up for it. so now, he wants revenge (e.g kill his ex girlfriend and/or wheoever beat him up). The guy asks him that question to try and give him a second chance to change his mind.
It was nice scene showing the two different messages/stories that both chars were thinking.
