The Usual Suspects

The protagonist, "Roger 'Verbal' Kint" gets interrogated by Kujan, the police officer. Verbal is alienated from society through his clever way of telling the officer complete lies. Added to this, Verbal is purposely trying to interrupt the interrogation simply by asking for a coffee or asking for a cigarette and he will not stay calm and keep on giving arguments why he needs that coffee. Also, to provoke the officer he drops a lighter, so that the officer can pick it up. Even though the officer tries to put the protagonist under pressure in his interrogation, he has no chance of keeping up with the menthal strength of Verbal. In that time, the movie switches back and forth from present to past. Verbal has his own moral code simply because he fools the officer and leads him into the whole different story, and as soon as the officer notices, puff "hes gone", like verbal said.
