Today, Louie pays Ghost Dog.

OK, OK. Er, let's see...

I don't pay him by the job.

He'll only work if I pay once a year on the first day of autumn.

First day of autumn, I settle up for that past year, see?

The first day of autumn... OK, OK.

Let's skip that part. Where does he live?

Fucked if I know. That's the next strange thing.

I can't call him. He contacts me only through a bird.

Since I first started contracting stuff out to him,

the bird comes every single day.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Did you say he contacts you through a fucking bird?

Did I just hear that?

What particular species...of bird?

It's a pigeon. It must be a carrier pigeon or whatever.

Passenger pigeon! They've been extinct since 1914!
