My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and never repeat myself. I have told you my name, and that's the who. The where can most readily be described as a prison cell. But there's a vast difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being imprisoned. The what is easy. Recently, I planned and set in motion events to execute the perfect bank robbery. That's also the when. As for the why, beyond the obvious financial motivation, it's exceedingly simple. Because I can. Which leaves us only with the how. And therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.

Peter, think very carefully about how you answer the next question, because if you get it wrong, your headstone will read: "Here lies Peter Hammond, hero who valiantly attempted to prevent a brilliant bank robbery by trying to hide his cellular phone, but wound up getting shot in the **** head."
Anyone else here smarter than me?
Respect is the ultimate currency.
When I'm good and ready, I'm gonna walk right through the front door.
Fact is, all lies, all evil deeds, they stink. You can cover them up for a while, but they don't go away.

I have the cable guy coming on Wednesday.
Soon I'm gonna be sucking down Piña Coladas in a hot tub with six girls named Amber and Tiffany.
