"Hmm?"

"Taking your victims out to dinner before you brutally murder them?"

"No. This is just for you."

..........

"Its not painful. At all."

"Are you lying?"

"...No..."

..........

"I don't know how to tell you this gently, so I won't."

..........

"That wasn't part of the job description. I only signed on because of the 'shoot stuff in the face' part."

"Sorry, I'm a lil' bit busy with my own pity party right now, afraid I can't make it to yours. Maybe next time."
