Against the world in which they have to live\\
And all the hate that's in their hearts\\
They're tired of being pushed around\\
And told just what to do\\
They'll fight the world until they've won\\
And love comes flowing through, yeah! ♫]]''

* DestinationDefenestration: Cormac threatens a mook into throwing himself off of the Continental balcony to atone for his failure. We get to see him hit the ground as KD pulls up. The man's head explodes when it hits the pavement.

Not wanting him to leave "empty-handed", Miles makes Uzan pick up his severed fingers and leave with them.



* IntimidationDemonstration: When KD stops by the bar at the Continental and tries to pay with cash, the bartender flashes a look at someone sitting nearby, and he nods to allow it. What follows is a series of other signals to various patrons and staff that are obvious to KD, no doubt intentionally so. The bartender puts his foot on a ladder to show off his ankle holster while grabbing a bottle. When KD goes to the front desk, the woman claims they're fully booked and then meticulously pulls out a pen from her coat pocket right next to her gun to recommend another hotel. KD takes the hint and walks out after seeing another patron pay with a coin.

Cormac likewise notes that he can't have the mook killed for the same reason, so he instead threatens to kill the man's family if he doesn't fling himself off the nearby balcony.
