Make sure to point the barrel upward toward the brain and not back toward the base of the skull ... I wanted to be sure you had the information needed to end your presidency with the modicum of honor deserving the Office.

You wrote a little book, got 'em fired up
Had a Beer Hall Putsch, got 'em fired up
And when your bunker started getting fired up,
You put a gun in your mouth and fired up.

So an act of disrespect is justification for murder in your book, huh? I see now. You taught me a very important lesson... which is handy since you disrespected the life of that innocent old man. I took the liberty of changing one of your guns into your favorite snack. It's your last meal, Polpo. Hope you enjoy it.

I do not know how the hell Ride to Heck got cleared for release unless the entire QA team simultaneously resigned to start a shotgun tasting business.
Well, what do you wanna hear, man? Do you wanna hear that sometimes I think about eatin' a bullet? Huh? Well, I do! I even got a special bullet for the occasion with a hollow point, look! Make sure it blows the back of my goddamned head out and do the job right!

I like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.

With every glass slid to him, Shuya kept downing the beverage in one go; and within mere minutes he was basically intoxicated. Too intoxicated to realise as he put it into his mouth that the final "glass" was no glass at all.
It was a pistol. He inadvertently pulled the trigger. And his body jerked back and went limp as his brains splattered all over the wall.

This way to the great egress. Break glass in case of overwhelming despair.
