¸„.-·~¹°”ˆ˜¨ Assassin ¨˜ˆ”°¹~·-.„¸ I remember having an argument with Alan, I said the Queen's not just going to call the guy up and send him out to do it. And Alan says, well, how would a monarch give orders to her assassin. I think in the corridors of power these dangerous kinds of orders are issued in a much more vague way, passed down two or three levels of command before they're given to the assassin. Kill a man, and you are an assassin. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone, and you are a god. Procrastination is opportunity's assassin. The camera can be the most deadly weapon since the assassin's bullet. Or it can be the lotion of the heart. The weapon of the advocate is the sword of the soldier, not the dagger of the assassin. War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight, the lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade. You'd think a sociopath assassin wouldn't have a fan following but he does. |
