• Fool : Hey!

  Fool : You shoot me, and you die too, man. And you better believe it. Don't be crazy now. There's enough dynamite back there to blow you sky high. Not the best place to store it, in my opinion. But there it was. Now just put the gun down.

  Man : [aims at Fool again] 

  Fool : Put the gun down. I don't wanna kill you, but I will 'cuz I don't like you much anyway.
