"I like plays. The good ones. Shakespeare... I like Titus Andronicus the best - its sweet. Incidentally, did you know that you are talking to an artist? I sometimes do special things to my victims: things that are creative. Of course, it takes knowledge, pride in your work. For example, a decapitated head can continue to see for approximately twenty seconds. So when I have one thats gawking, I always hold it up so that it can see its body. Its a little extra I throw in for no added charge. I must admit it makes me chuckle every time. Life is fun. Its a wonderful life, in fact, for some. Its too bad about poor Father Dyer. I killed him, you know. An interesting problem, but finally, it worked! First, a bit of the old succinylcholine to permit one to work without, ah, annoying distractions. Then, a three foot catheter threaded directly into the inferior vena cava -- or, superior vena cava. Its a matter of taste, I think, dont you? Then the tube moves through the vein, under the crease of the arm, into the vein that leads directly into the heart, and then, you just hold up the legs, and you squeeze the blood manually into the tube from the arms and the legs. Theres a little shaking and pounding at the end for the dregs - it isnt perfect. Theres a little blood left, Im afraid. But, regardless, the overall effect is astonishing! And isnt that really what counts in the end? Yes, of course, Good Show Biz, Lieutenant, the EFFECT! And then, off comes the head without spilling one single drop of blood. Now I call that SHOWMANSHIP, Lieutenant!"
