Animal lover, stamp collector, consummate pro, he dispatches his victims--an overpaid baseball player, a nosy therapist, a troublesome housewife--with a cool efficiency they would appreciate if they weren't already dead.

...need for oil. We cannot expect success in dialogue or negotiation when those people have something we desperately need.
