There is got to be something you enjoy.

I don't like the look of this one, baby.

This guy related to you, basso?

I've never saw him in my life.

You never saw him?

Ok, ok. Here you go.

You remind me of my ex-wife.

She wouldn't bet on a fixed fight either

Ah hell, honey, it's not what I think

And I want to hear you talk a little.

Before I do.
