“This is absolutely going to happen, exactly as I say, three days from now. I swear on my life.”
“How do you know what’s going to happen in three days?”

“Good, I’m glad you can say that. Take the gun! If there’s no other way, save the last bullet for yourself. Make it quick and leave no loose ends. I’ll claim your martyr’s compensation, and I’ll take care of your wife.”
“Damn it, there’s only one bullet in the gun!”
“That one’s for you.”
