“	Enough... Enough! Enough! Enough! I ask you where you got the drugs, and all you've done is tell me one stupid, pointless story after another. First, you wouldn't talk. Now... I'm begging you to shut up. Well, story time is over, bitch. Now, either you tell me where you got them, or I pull this trigger and your wife dies thinking you ran out on her. I'm not even gonna count. If you don't start talking by the time I stop, I swear to God...	„
