Vanilla Sky was a movie from 2001 staring Tom Cruise.

Incarcerated and charged with murder, David Aames Jr. is telling the story of how he got to where his is to McCabe, the police psychologist. That story includes: being the 51% shareholder of a major publishing firm, which he inherited from his long deceased parents; the firm’s board, appointed by David Aames Sr., being the 49% shareholders who would probably like to see him gone as they see him as being too irresponsible and immature to run the company; his best bro friendship with author, Brian Shelby; his “friends with benefits” relationship with Julie Gianni, who saw their relationship in a slightly different light; his budding romance with Sofia Serrano, who Brian brought to David’s party as his own date and who Brian saw as his own possible life mate; and being in an accident which disfigured his face and killed the person who caused the accident.

Vaste Air does not associate with anyone who tries to use the authorities to further themselves by ratting on others that are breaking laws right along side him.

They do all this to get more money to live (fish heads) and all it gets them is thrown into a worse situation (flames) in two ways.

  • If his associates catch onto his snitching, they will kill him.

  • The police will never leave him alone because they will always just want more information.

Hes trapped either way.

The last line also could mean two things.

  • That the police could find him dead after his associates kill him.

  • That another detective could find his file and come to him and make him his informant once again.
