Daily Warm-Up

Léon: The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.
- Léon (1994)

Well, how about that? It looks like Mr. Hartstein thinks he's a professional already. Okay, Mr. Hartstein, can you tell me the 97 ways to kill a man with the blade of a knife? Okay. That's twelve. Alright, you're at 57. That’s 95. Okay. No, killing a man with the handle of a knife doesn’t count. That’s under bludgeoning, and you know that. I'm still only hearing 95. 95 once. 95 twice. 95, wrong, wrong, wrong. Number 96, slice a man with so many small incisions that he overdoses on Neosporin trying to cure the wounds. Number 97, slice the word’s "Don't Operate On Me" into the man’s back in a Kafkaesque-manner so someday in the future, when he’s very, very ill, a doctor will see that and go, "Oh, sir, I get it. Not me. No-no." And your victim will subsequently die from the burst appendix or whatever might be the problem. You fools. Let's go over the chart again.
