Maybe the first line indicates that the character no longer feels a need to be 'pure/good' (to get into heaven), since there is a back door available? The second line notes 'that money'. Is that the dream bucks spent on the ticket to Heaven's Gate? Or maybe money that had been tagged for another, presumably less lethal, purpose?
To me it sounds like someone crumbling before temptation. The first line is a kind of permission to be bad and then the next line implies grand impulse, so powerful it was acted on first thing upon waking.
Wait a moment. What about this: This person was trusted with a large sum of money (from a criminal source) and has decided to spend a part of it on a weapon, because he's taking off with the remainder. The character intends to pull a Robin Hood and do good things (getting into Heaven). The criminals behind the money, other petty criminals, and the local law are after the suddenly money-ladened hero.
Thanks for the exercise. This was fun.
