Yes! A good and often overlooked film. Well done! When I had a VCR in the '90s, I bought copies of _ **Killing Zoe** _, _ **Curdled** _, and _ **From Dusk Till Dawn** _ and watched them back-to-back on a Saturday afternoon. I think I had _ **Desperado** _ and _ **True Romance** _ around this time too. ---

Yep. I found an online script; don’t know if this is verbatim. It’s just after Will Smith joins the team and Zed is giving assignments to the various agents. > [@](#): > > **Zed:** Okay, let’s see.
