Help finding a movie (crime/twist with hitmen and conmen; the scene with a story being told before every future victim)

Movie/scene: one of the hitmen has the habit of telling the same story (which has nothing to do with the situtaion) in front of every victim ; after the victim questions: 'what has that to do with it?' (or something similar), he/she is killed (fadeout).  This is just one of the minor details but the only one I recall.

To make it clear: it was a binge-watching of crime/comedy/action movies for me (the likes of In Bruges, Smokin' Aces, Layer Cake, Thursday, Matchstick Men, Big nothing, etc.) - so the plots and details are all mixed up for me - but the movie must be in the vein of the aforementioned (might be even one of them), and around the same decade of release.

I have seen a few movie hitmen with eccentric habits:

James Spader in 2 Days in the Valley pulls out a stopwatch to give his victims one last minute. 

Javier Bardem in for Old No Country Men does the coin toss.  

Of course, Samuel L. Jackson has that Bible inspired monologue from Pulp Fiction.  

I am sure there are others I am forgetting.  I know it isn't Matchstick Men because the characters were conmen not hitmen (good movie though), and I don't remember anything like that in Layer Cake (although it has been awhile since I saw it).  I haven't seen the others on your list.  

Best of luck with your search.
