Synopsis/Details
An elderly lady is feeding ducks in a park and is met by a mysterious young man. They begin chatting and it becomes obvious she has arranged to meet him. It appears that he may be a prostitute but as the conversation flows it becomes obvious that he is a hitman. After lots of verbal tangents, as she jumps from topic to topic, the young man asks her what she wants. She wants him to kill someone and as he asks for more details she gives him a photograph of the intended victim. The hitman is confused as the picture is of her - the elderly lady. He asks her and she confirms that she wants him to kill her as she wants to die and is afraid to do it herself. Her husband and son are dead and she doesn't feel that she can carry on living. Eventually, after questioning the 'ethics' of her request, he agrees to do it and they discuss how he is going to get paid and the final details of where to do it. He goes to leave and they have a final exchange where she asks if there is discount for Old-Aged Pensioners.
