Django: [as Schultz prepares to pour the beer] What kind of dentist are you?
Dr. King Schultz: [smiles] Ha!
[Schultz fills the beer glasses from the tap]
Dr. King Schultz: Despite that cart, I haven't practiced dentistry in five years. But these days, I practice a new profession...
[Schultz grabs the glasses filled with beer and gives a drink to Django]
Dr. King Schultz: Bounty hunter.
[Schultz sits down with his own glass]
Dr. King Schultz: Do you know what a bounty hunter is?
Django: No.
Dr. King Schultz: Well, the way the slave trade deals in human lives for cash, a bounty hunter deals in corpses.
[Schultz clinks his beer glass to Django's]
Dr. King Schultz: Prost!
[pause]
Dr. King Schultz: The state places a bounty on a man's head. I track that man, I find that man, I kill that man.
[pause]
Dr. King Schultz: After I've killed him, I transport that man's corpse back to the authorities. Sometimes that's easier said than done. I show that corpse to the authorities, proving yes, indeed, I truly have killed him, at which point the authorities pay me the bounty. So, like slavery, it's a flesh for cash business.
