1- It’s cold outside.
2- …But the birds are still here.
1- Correct. So you’re the man who requested the murder.
2- Y-yes.
1- I like you. Usually my clients either back out at the last minute or forget the password.
2- How hard can it be to remember “But the birds are still here”?
1- You have a point. Maybe some people back out at the VERY last minute. So… tell me about the victim.
2- His name is Preston Cushrinada.
1- I see. Brother? Coworker? Ex-lover?
2- He was a coworker.
1- Why do you want him dead?
2- He took me job, he took my girlfriend… he stole my identity.
1- And you want him to die because--
2- I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I want him dead because I want my life back.
1- I wasn’t, but I am now.
2- I-I want him dead because I despise him! I’ve lost many hours of sleep because of him, if there’s anything I want back I guess those hours would suffice more than anything!
1- So Preston Cushrinada made you an insomniac, and you want him to die so you can sleep peacefully again.
2- Yes. He’s plagued my thoughts hourly. I will not rest until I have my vengeance.
1- You talk big.
2- You talk small.
1- Touché. I’ll tell ya what. Come up with a better excuse and maybe we’ve got ourselves a deal. *Get’s up to leave*
2- … Wait!
1- *stops* yes?
2- What if I told you he was a national threat?
1- I would think you were full of—
2- I’m serious. I can explain if you’ll just sit down and listen to me.
1- … Fine, I’ve got another minute. *Sits down*
2- Good. Preston Cushrinada is the leader of an underground anti-federalist anarchist organization called “The Pack”
1- How do you know this?
2- … B-because it was my organization. He stole it from me.
1- So you were serious when you said he took your identity.
2- Yes.
1- And this man could kill the president.
2- If he wanted to.
1- Funny… you don’t look like a member of an underground anarchist network. You look like an underpaid office intern.
2- *glare* oh, you’re hilarious.
1- Heh. Okay, we got ourselves a deal. I expect the money by tomorrow.
2- You’ll get it. Trust me.

That is the saddest, most lame excuse for killing someone! but i do like that he is hiring someone elso to do it! RISKY!!! But it would be a lot less confusing if you named the characters instead of numbers.
I like how it's almost as if he's getting involved with the mob. I like it, really intense and interesting. Good Job.
I agree, name the characters, not just number them. But I really liked the mystery and confusion of the dialogue and scene.
