[Slevin's shoulders relax. He's not sure why he was so against wanting to try to explain about Columbo, but he's relieved not to have to; maybe Cassel will understand after all.

Maybe he can help Slevin understand.]

I just... you know how no one ever saw him as a threat? Like he's just this perfectly ordinary guy that seems to stumble into the middle of a crime, and it's almost like he's not even supposed to be there, and he's never surprised, and he never stops?

And then he's just like "oh and one more thing" and just spits out the entire story like he's reading from a script, like it's no big deal? I mean, he is, but... you know.

And that's it. That's the game, just like that.
