Damn Malcolm, you look like you’ve just seen a ghost.

Tony stands in front of Malcolm.

Tony

You told Nico you had a client who wanted to buy those machine guns. Now the guns are missing, and Nico hasn’t seen his 10 gees. Where the fuck are the guns and the money Malcolm?

Malcolm

I was down in Miami setting up a plug to move them for me. That’s where I’ve been for the last 2 weeks Tony. I was going to get back with Nico.

Tony

Shut the fuck up, you were in Miami trickin’ and partying you lying mutha fucka.

Tony

Is that you don’t fucking listen Malcolm. That’s your problem. This isn’t even about the guns and money anymore, this shit is personal to me now.

Let’s just shoot his ass and get out of here.

Tony

I’m going to do more than just that. I have to send a message with his punk ass. I told you this job is about creativity.

Malcolm

Tony don’t kill me. I can pay you $25,000 and give you back the guns, just let me go.

Tony gets the lighter fluid out of the bag. Tony douses Malcolm with lighter fluid. Tony pours lighter fluid all over Malcolm.

Malcolm

Please don’t kill me Tony. I can go get you the guns right now. I’ll pay you $75,000, and I’ll give you a kilo of coke if you let me go. You can tell Nico that you didn’t find me. You’re a smart man Tony, lets do business.
