Every condemned man gets a last request. What's yours gonna be?
Sam Danville:
Well, I wouldn't mind if they'd built that gallows a little higher. I'd prefer it if my neck snapped straight off instead of strangling slow-like. There's no dignity in a death like that.
Gus McGreevey:
Ask for a cigar.
Sam Danville:
Hmm, why's that?
Gus McGreevey:
The sheriff brings them in special and hates having to share, even with a dying man.
Sam Danville:
Never did kind to smoking. Nearly choked me to death the first time I tried.
Gus McGreevey:
Death by cigar. Sure beats a noose.
