Romualdas. Have you ever seen a man pull out a gun in the open before?
Liesel. No, I don’t think so. Oh, there’s always soldiers with automatic rifles at international airports it seems.
Romualdas. Yeah, they always have their rifles pointing down, slung around their shoulders.
Liesel. It’s a pretty normal sight, I think.
Romualdas. I was following two security guards transferring two bags on a hand truck today.
Liesel. Did they have rifles?
Romualdas. No, they had hand guns in their holsters sticking out of their sides, but one of them, the one who wasn’t pushing the hand truck had a hand on his gun.
Liesel. You felt like he was going to pull it out or something?
Romualdas. Yeah, the way he was touching the gun. He was thinking about his gun, ready to pull it out in case something wrong happened. He was going to pull it out and point it at someone.
Liesel. Did he? Did he pull it out?
Romualdas. When they got to their armored truck on the side of the road, the guard took it out of his holster. He pointed it down with his finger off the trigger and on the guard. Both of them were wearing bulletproof vests over their uniforms. I really felt he wanted something wrong to occur - any excuse for him to discharge a round or two into someone’s shoulder.
Liesel. I think you wanted something to go wrong.
End. Wanting Something Wrong
