…
What’s the most you’ve ever lost in a coin toss?
Sir?
The most you ever lost in a coin toss.
I don’t know. I couldn’t say.
Call it.
Call it?
Yes.
For what?
Just call it.
Well, we need to know what we’re calling it for here.
You need to call it. I can’t call it for you. It wouldn’t be fair.
I didn’t put nothing up.
Yes, you did. You’ve been putting it up your whole life. You just didn’t know it.
…
You got no cause to hurt me.
No. But I gave my word.
You gave your word?
To your husband.
That don’t make sense. You gave your word to my husband to kill me?
Your husband had the opportunity to save you. Instead, he used you to try to save himself.
Not like that. Not like you say. You don’t have to do this.
They’ll always say the same thing.
What did they say?
They say you don’t have to do this.
You don’t.
This is the best I can do. Call it.
