Joe Cabot. I work with him.

[But he's not his boss. He doesn't have a boss.]

On that one bastard, right?

Ah. Right.

[She can't be assed to pretend otherwise, so she just nods.]

That's a good name for him. Fucker.

Fucker or Bastard?

[This time Blonde cheats. From the bench he's sitting on, he points the revolver and motions Shoshanna out of the way.]

Both. [She shouldn't be so candid, but—fuck it.]

I'm glad I did it. Even if he did have it in him to shoot back.

[As if she's in a bad flashback, her heart jumps into her throat when she sees him point his revolver, but then she realizes what he's doing and moves quickly out of the way.]

[Vic notices, but he doesn't comment on it. BLAM. It's a pretty good shot.]

He shot you back?

[Her face remains impassive.]

A few times, actually. And the next thing I knew, I was waking up here, like nothing had happened.

[He lowers the gun and looks at her. He's briefly silent, face unreadable.]

Is he dead?

[She shrugs, looking back at him steadily.]

I think so. I don't know how we would have survived, after.

[A pause.]

If he's dead--good.

And if he isn't?

[She goes a little pale, and her voice drop.]

You don't think he'd show up here...

[He watches her for a moment. Watches her go slightly pale, hears the change in her voice. A few seconds pass, and he glances to her gun. He nods towards the targets.]

Then you know how to finish the job.

[She lets out a bark of a laugh.]

I suppose I do. [She rests her chin in her hands, elboows on her knees.] You're sort of ruthless, aren't you?

You wanted him dead, didn't you?

[Surprisingly, her lips curve upward into a bare smile.]

That's usually why one shoots someone.
