when someone applies for a job...

as an assistant, because it's a job

that can be any number of things.

What do you want from this job,

and what do you want from life?

Where are you in your life now?

Wow, that's a big question.

You'll need bribe money

for the local cops.

you know what I mean?

No, you get a layover on... Listen.

You get a little layover on the money.

What are we, the consultants?

The f***ing thing adds up. We go in.

We set up the guy.
