      You always gotta maintain civility when murdering people, y’know? Because killing others is one thing, but being uncivil? We’re a civilized people, for God’s sake!

    I’m proud to be a Canadian today. This guy is a legend. Too bad he’s about to go through a bureaucratic nightmare.

    Dick is a real and valid Anglo name derived from Richard. 69 might be referring to his father’s age etc.
