BASS
Patience. That’s the key. When your enemy is sweating moving
fast, out of control - that’s when they are at their weakest. Thats when you strike. Only use your gun when you absolutely have too.
(BASS digs the KNIFE deep into GRANT’S LEG. He gives out a loud scream as BASS pulls out BULLET. He holds it out towards the audience- then tosses it to the side. He takes a clean RAG and begins to wrap the wound. GRANT takes a final swig from the BOTTLE)
BASS

GRANT
Near Denison. Plantation `bout two miles from where you were
actually.
