": El, you really must try this. It's a puerco pibil. It's a slow roasted pork—nothing fancy, just happens to be my favorite—and I order it, with a tequila and lime, in every dive I go to in this country and honestly, that is the best it's ever been, anywhere. In fact, it's too good. It is so good that when I finish with it, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen, and shoot the cook, because that's what I do: I restore the balance to this country. And that is what I would like from you right now. Help me keep the balance by pulling the trigger. : You want me to shoot the cook? : No, I'll shoot the cook; my car's parked out back anyway. You will kill Marquez. Do you remember General Marquez? He's been paid by the Barillo Cartel to kill the President in an attempted coup d'etat. : Attempted? : No, no, no, the President will be killed, because he's that piece of good pork that needs to get balanced out. I said 'attempted' because we don't want Marquez taking power. I need you, to put the hurting, so to speak, on Marquez after he's killed the President. Savvy?"
