A scene from The Day of the Jackal 1973
The Gunsmith

Over what range will you fire?

The Jackal

I'm not sure yet but probably not more than 400 feet.

The Gunsmith

Will the gentleman be moving?

The Jackal

Stationary.

The Gunsmith

Will you go for a head shot or a chest shot?

The Jackal

Probably head.

The Gunsmith

What about the chance of a second shot?

The Jackal

Well I might get the chance but I doubt it. In any event I'll need a silencer to escape.

The Gunsmith

In that case you'd better have explosive bullets. I can prepare a handful along with the gun.

The Jackal

Glycerin or mercury?

The Gunsmith

Oh mercury... much cleaner.

In this scene

The Gunsmith Cyril Cusack
