HOSS
I need you to do a job for me.
KNIGHT
...a job?
HOSS
Yes.
KNIGHT
If this is a job, are you going to pay me?
HOSS
Don't be so fucking smart.
KNIGHT
It's a fair question.
HOSS
Yes, I'm going to pay you. You in?
KNIGHT
What's the job?
HOSS
I need you to get something for me.
KNIGHT
For you?
HOSS
For me, for a client - what the fuck does it matter?
KNIGHT
It matters to me.
HOSS
Fuck you.
KNIGHT
Alright then.
HOSS
Wait wait wait.
KNIGHT
Yes?
HOSS
You're the fucking worst, you know that?
KNIGHT
You wouldn't need me for a job if that's true.
HOSS
This is important. Confidential. I don't want you running your mouth to anyone about this, you got it?
KNIGHT
Discretion is my middle name. What's the job?
HOSS
I have a client - and no, I won't give you their name no matter what you say. One of their competitors has information they need.
KNIGHT
And they can't get it through appropriate means, so you need me to do it?
HOSS
We could fight around the correct ways to get this information but this is a time sensitive matter for my client. They need this information and they need it yesterday. If I could do this legit I would but my client doesn't have the time.
KNIGHT
So you need me.
HOSS
Believe me, I wouldn't be talking to you if I had any other possible option. But for some fucking reason you can always do what everyone else can't and I need the best.
KNIGHT
Don't know that it was the best move to come off so desperate. You don't have much to bargain with at this point.
