Fast dialogue: 15:33
Bobbie: I’ve always pegged you as the non-violent type. What’s with your fascination with guns and that sort of thing?
Emmanuel: I come from a long line of military officers and I grew up with all of it. Believe it or not, I learned how to fire pistols and rifles before I was 10 years old, and by the time I was 14, I was a pretty good shot.
Bobbie: I hope you fired at targets and not at people.
Emmanuel: No, not people. We did do some hunting when I was young, but I mainly honed my skills with target practice.
Bobbie: I’d like to try target practice – with a machine gun or a grenade launcher! I’m sure I’d at least hit something.
Emmanuel: Yeah, right. What really interests me are the big weapons, like missiles – you know, like antiballistic missiles and torpedoes.
Bobbie: You can have all of the missiles you want. I’ll be hiding in the tank!
