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 1. 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 2. 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 3, but I have my standards!
