Dax's character's always have a recurring theme of wanting to hypothetically assault someone, like when he was watching his friend count coins and thought about slapping the money from his hand.

The wavering in his voice when he says "what if I had a gun right now?" is simply perfect.

I don't think I've ever laughed at just a camera cut. Joel, the close up cut at 1:36 is brilliant!
