"Set in the dark, damp basement of a deserted house where two hit-men wait for instructions on their next victim. Robert Altman directs John Travolta and Tom Conti in this Harold Pinter one-act drama."@en
"Pinter's work is heavily influenced by Samuel Beckett, who used silence-filled pauses for a revolutionary theatrical effect. Pinter has spoken of speech as a stratagem designed to cover the nakedness of silence, and these aims are often evident in the dialogue of Gus and Ben. Ben's most prominent response to Gus's constant questions about the nature of their jobs is silence. Lurking underneath this silence is always the threat of violence, the anticipation of something deathly, the play ends as Ben trains his gun on Gus in silence."
