Charlie: Gets jammed sometimes.
Billy: At the fucking standoff?
Charlie: Paolo, shoot him.
Billy: At the fucking standoff?
Charlie: Paolo, shoot him while he's not looking.
Billy: I am looking. Clearly, I'm looking.
Paolo: And I ain't shooting.
Charlie: What do you mean, you ain't shooting? He's gonna shoot my dog.
Paolo: Yeah, well, fuck your dog.
Charlie: Fuck my dog?
Billy: Hey, mongoloid, fix your fucking gun, or your little gay dog's little gay head's gonna fucking explode.
Charlie: He doesn't have a gay head.
Billy: Five.
Charlie: He has a normal head.
Billy: Four. Three.
Charlie: Can you go back to five?
Billy: I ain't going back to five, man. I ain't going back to five. (sighs) Five.
