Knives...

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. Okay?

Also, I think knives are a good idea.Big, fuck-off shiny ones.Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile.Knives are good because they don't make any noise.The less noise they make, the more likely we are to use 'em.Shit 'em right up.Makes it look like we're serious.Guns for show,knives for a pro.
