Hooker with a heart of gold?

More like VIOLENT CRIMINAL with a heart of gold, lol. (About the scene where Kujan says to Kint - "So don't sell me the hooker with the heart of gold" about Dean Keaton.)

At least hookers as part of their job and nature don't intentionally kill people.

That was the point. Verbal was selling Keaton as a "hooker with a heart of gold" (i.e. a criminal who is also a good person), whereas in reality he was a ruthless, murdering criminal who (maybe) was trying to reform.
