Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:10 Explanations: 3:00 Fast dialogue: 15:16 Gus: Are you Shirley? Shirley: Yeah, thanks for agreeing to meet me here. I’m told you’re the best sniper in the business and you can be discreet. I need a hitman who can do a job, then make himself scarce. Gus: I’m your man. Tell me about it. Shirley: There’s someone who’s been a thorn in my side, keeping me up at night, and it’s time to take him out. Gus: Taking care of problems is my specialty. I’ll need a down payment now and the balance when I finish him off. We shouldn’t meet again, so I’ll tell you later where to make a drop. Shirley: All right. Gus: Good. How will I be able to spot the target? Shirley: Here’s a picture. He’s usually in the yard in the afternoons. Gus: You want me to kill a dog?! Shirley: Right, he’s my neighbor’s dog and he keeps me up every night. Is that a problem? Gus: You bet it is. Who do you think I am? People are disposable, but dogs? They’re a man’s best friend. Shirley: Are you kidding me? You won’t take the job? Gus: Nope, I won’t. If you want to pay good money to take out a dog, then that’s your prerogative, but I have my standards!
