Mac:
[Showing Uncle Red the Silver Bullet]
There it is. Nicest piece of work I ever done, I think. It's got a low-grain load... so it won't tumble. Ought to be pretty accurate. Uncle Red: Why, shoot, it's just a gag. I mean, uh, what the heck you gonna shoot a .44 bullet at anyway... made out of silver? Mac: How about a werewolf? See more » |
