Nick told Dennis that their big crime boss had noticed his work and had requested his attendance in Edmonton. This was apparently a big

the rifle. Dennis replied, you're going to take care of business.

As they arrived at the spot nearby Roscoe's farm where he said they wanted to be dropped

Then Roscoe got out, Dennis drove home, and that was it.

Dennis told Mr. Big that that was all he knew.

Mr. Big thanked him for being honest, and Dennis said he was sorry for lying.
