Henry What're you doing?

Otis I wanna see it again!

Otis That little fucking bastard. I oughta kill him. I oughta cut his fucking head off.

Henry That'd be a mistake.

Otis Look who's talking.

Henry (forcefully) Watch your mouth, Otis.

Otis I'm sorry, Henry.

Henry You kill that high school boy, they're gonna slap your ass right back in jail, Otis. That's a promise. I mean, people have seen you together.

Otis I'd still like to kill him, though

Henry I bet you would.

Otis I'd like to kill somebody.

Henry Say that again.

Otis I'd like to kill somebody.

Henry Let's me and you go for a ride, Otis.

Otis Where you going?

Henry Nowhere - you wanna come?

Henry You tellin me you never killed anybody before?

Otis I didn't say that! There've been times when I've had to. But that was different from tonight. Tonight just seemed...wrong.

Henry If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one, stab another, and one you cut up, and one you don't, then the police don't know what to do. They think you're four different people. What they really want, what makes their job so much easier, is pattern. What they call a modus operandi. That's Latin. Bet you didn't know any Latin, did you kid?

Otis Big fucking deal.

Henry What?

Otis Nothing.

Henry It's like a trail of shit, Otis. It's like the blood droppings from a deer you shot, and all they've got to do is follow those droppings, and pretty soon, they're going to find their deer.

Otis So why did we use a gun?

Henry You can use a gun. I'm not saying you can't use a gun. Just don't use the same gun twice.
