[ For a second it might seem like someone is holding a gun up to the camera, but then it pulls back a little to reveal that while, yes, there is a gun pointed at the camera, that gun has teeth, with a smoking cigarette clamped between them.

The gun also talks. ]

The name’s Juzo, and I’ve got an… odd request.

[ Juzo’s hand comes up into view to take the cigarette out of his mouth, holding it up for the camera. ]

These are a special brand from home, so I’m looking for someone who might know how to reverse-engineer ‘em and produce more. I’m not exactly rollin’ in money here since I just arrived, but I’ll find a way to repay the favor. Odd jobs are a specialty of mine.

And I don’t wanna hear any talk about how smoking is gonna kill me. Running out will kill me quicker.

[ That seems to be the end of it, with Juzo sticking the cigarette back between his teeth and exhaling a plume of smoke. Then, as an afterthought, he adds: ]

Before anyone jumps the gun, yes, this is my real head. No, I don’t wanna talk about it.
