All I wanted was permission to kill him. This was not in my calculations.
The trick is to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission. Figured a shyster like you would understand that little.
Oh, I do, but I am operating under pre-established orders not to do so.
Why not just get someone else to do it under the table and have a lil plausible deniability? Y'know you fellas are real lucky I ain't in the crime racket, 'cause I think I'd be wipin' the floor with you and the Midnight Mooks if I was.
