DRIVER
You want another hotel?
LOBO
No.
DRIVER
So where to?
LOBO
I'll let you know.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE WASHINGTON STREETS- DAY
The Hitman walks down the Washington streets, the Hitman's thoughts echoing:
HITMAN
Time to restock. Lobo's cleaned me out, ripped through my arsenal in two encounters... I'll need a lot more firepower if I want to tangle with him again. But perhaps I should 'stomp with my mind', defeating him and the Agency without using anything more than what I have at hand... either way, I need ammo. Lobo won't be far behind me. He never is.
He walks up to a large store, professing 'GUNS AND RIFLES, QUALITY FIREARMS'. He enters.

LOBO
Keep going.
The driver nods.
DRIVER

INT. GUN STORE- DAY
The Hitman's choices of weaponry are laid out on the counter.
SALESMAN
You load them outside. I hope you have money for all this. Let me add this stuff up.
HITMAN
Sure.
The salesman notices something about Lobo's Glock and frowns. The Hitman frowns at the salesman.
SALESMAN
That's a new grip.
The Hitman picks up the Glock.
SALESMAN
Let me take a look.
The Hitman hands it over.
SALESMAN
Ouch. This thing is unbalanced as hell. The butt feels way too heavy... I could sell you a new one for-
