Soap, Season 2

Jessica:
Dutch, tell me: did you really kill a man?

Dutch:
Yeah.

Jessica:
Dead? You shot him dead?

Dutch:
That's usually what happens in a successful killing.

Jessica:
Of course.

Dutch:
You see, what happened is that when I got out of the Navy, I borrowed some money to go into business. The banks all turned me down for a loan, so I went to a local loan company. They gave me $5000 at a very high rate of interest. In the first week, when I couldn't come up with the dough, they broke my fingers. The second week, they broke my nose, two ribs and my knee. Plus the guy who was beating me up had a very bad cold, so I ended up with a terrible cough. The next week, they was gonna break my head, but I convinced them not to.

Jessica:
How?

Dutch:
Well, I talked to them for a while and then I shot 'em.

Jessica:
I think that should be considered self-defense.

Dutch:
It was, but the guy who owned the loan company turned out to be the Chief of Police.
