Your shirt.

Take it off.

I don't think you understand.

No, you don't understand.

Take your god damn shirt off.

Whoa, no, no, no.

Take your shirt off!

Can you please

just put that down?

Take your god damn shirt off!

OK!

Shirt's coming off.

It's off.

Pants.

No.

Please, sir.

Now!

Get them god damn britches down!

Shorts!

You don't need to think.

Get your shorts down.

Hands up.

I'm fixing to put you

down with this, here.

OK.

OK.

Turn around.

Look, I have the money.

And you'll still have

it when we're done.

You look clean.

Put your shorts up.

What the hell was that?

Well, now we both know

you ain't wearing a wire.

Cops do that, you know?

Well, you could

have just said that,

and made this whole

thing a lot easier.

Yeah, well it seemed

pretty from over here.

Looked like you'd

done it before.

No.

No.

Calm yourself.

Sit down.

Take a seat.

So, what is it

you want me doing?

Um... well, I got

this brother in law.

Yep.

He's... he's a bad guy.

I mean, really bad.

He... he beat sup on my sister.

Yep.

I mean, the other day

he almost killed her.

So, what do you want me to do?

Well, I was wondering

if... you know,

you... you could

take care of him?

Oh.

You want me to kill him.

Yeah, well, I would like

to talk more about that.

How much money you

got on this, again?

Um... $2,000.

Back home.

Well, let's go get it.

I mean, maybe we can

discuss it a little more,

if... if that's OK.

Sure.

We can talk about it in the car.

Girlfriend, and she says...

She says, how did you know?

All I did was drink

iced tea all night,

and he didn't hit me once.

And the girlfriend

says, she says...

Says that that's what happens

when you keep your mouth shut.

Right?

You ain't thinking that's funny

cause of your sister, I guess.

Well, some people

got a sense of humor.

Sorry.

Uh... so how long you been

doing this kind of thing?

What thing?

The killing thing?

Well, a while.

But it ain't exactly

full time, you know?

It's hard telling how many

fellas want a man dead enough

to pay for it, but not

enough to do it themselves.

And you've done this...

You've done this kind of thing

before, right?

For... for money?

Oh, sure.

So, how do we... how

do you go about it?

Well, you... you give me your

money, I shoot him in his head.

Ain't like I'm teaching

Portuguese, or anything.

No, I just, mean, you

know, why do most people

want to do something like this?

Jesus Christ.

You keep nipping at my heels,

you're gonna buy me dinner.

Those motel walls

were so thin, all

I was hearing for a week was...

And he's

wanting to bust

his nuts, so he's

like... you know how that is?

Oh yeah, baby.
