This episode is called “Hiring a Hitman.” It’s sort of a funny dialogue about a woman who wants to get rid of someone. Let’s get started.
Gus: Are you Shirley?
Shirley: Yeah, thanks for agreeing to meet me here. I’m told you’re the best sniper in the business and you can be discreet. I need a hitman who can do a job, then make himself scarce.
Gus: I’m your man. Tell me about it.
Shirley: There’s someone who’s been a thorn in my side, keeping me up at night, and it’s time to take him out.
