## Draft:

Excerpt from The Mechanic

In the roles of cooperating hitmen, Ben Foster and Jason Statham plan an assassination attempt. They finish each other’s sentences, amplifying a sense of magnitude, gravity, and confidence.

- [Jason Statham] Adrenaline’s unreliable. It may only force him into cardiac arrest.
- [B Foster] But when the EMTs arrive, the first thing they do is jam you with a shot of epinephrine...
- [J Statham] Which is toxic when combined with...
- [B Foster] Adrenaline.
- [J Statham] So on the off chance our adrenaline shot doesn’t kill him...
