If I could sum up 'Shadow's Claim' in six words: cage fights with hot alpha males. Seriously, though, while the fights are the backdrop for Trehan and Bettina's love story, the main emphasis is on how Trehan - a pitiless master assassin - wages the ultimate battle to win her heart.
When he let it go, I just felt confident it was going in. I call him the silent assassin because he doesn't say much, but when it's time to deliver he can do that. He's hit seven or eight of those in his career.
How will he react? Will he be focused to lead this team the right way to as many victories as we can get? Will he sulk for three weeks? My belief is that he'll be a focused assassin -- a focused basketball player to get the job done and lead this team to a good playoff position.
Do you believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin of President Kennedy ?
There's no way around it. Koizumi is a political genius. His creation of the assassin candidates has captured the public's imagination.
A quiet assassin who let his game do the talking. He wanted the ball in his hands when the game was on the line. A truly gifted athlete with incredible foot speed and lightning quick hands and he developed into an outstanding three-point shooter.
It's like inviting an assassin to a gathering of living presidents. You know he can score a zillion points. I have the utmost respect for Kobe Bryant. He competes at the highest of the highest echelon.
I told everybody at the All-Star break: Eastern Conference, I'm coming for you. I'm the Eastern Conference assassin right now; it's a tour from city to city.
I loved that I went straight from being an incredibly deadly assassin in 'Long Kiss Goodnight' to the mother of a mouse, ... I just thought that was fabulous ... we all have everything within us, the ability to be a killer or the girlfriend of an insect.
I'm scared to death. I know the assassin mentality he has. He's always on attack. He's always probing the defense. I liked it better when we didn't know what was there.
He's so focused. He has that tunnel focus. That's why he can go on rolls, like he does. In games, when he gets that focus, he's like an assassin out there.
