or reason to.

It just keeps running until the

noose closes completely and then...

It self-destructs.

Actually, you're probably dead

in less than a minute.

From strangulation?

No.

The wire cuts through

the carotid arteries

and then sprays blood

all over the spectators

and everybody goes home.

Sweet.

Yeah, sweet.

Think about it, Counselor.

Here you go, ma'am.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

I have something to

discuss with you

and I'm a bit scared.

Hmm.

Have you been bad?

No.

Actually,

I don't have that much to discuss, so...

Let me just give you this

and tell me what you think.

Will you?

Don't leave me hanging, here.

Yes, I will!

Try it.

What, you didn't know?

I knew

but I was scared anyway.

That's good.

It's so beautiful.

You are a glory.

I'm a glory?

Yes.

As in "glorious."

You're a glorious woman.

And you're a man

of impeccable taste.

Sorry,

I shouldn't have said that.

You can't take it back.

Here.

I intend to love

you until I die.

Me first.

Not on your life.

That's a nice ring.

How many carats is it?

I don't know.

You don't know?

No.

You've gotta be kidding me.

No, I don't know.

Let me see it.

No, take it off.

Mmm.

It's a 3.5 carat.

Maybe 3.8.

It's a nice stone.

It's Asscher cut.

Thank you.

Good color.

Probably an F, or a G.

Nothing visible,

so at least a VS2.

Wanna know how much it's worth?

No.

You really don't, do you?

I really don't.

So, have you set a date?

Not yet.

I really want to get married in the Church.

And he's okay with that.

He was married before,

so I thought that would be a problem.

But the church doesn't recognize

other marriages, so...

Are you nervous?

A little bit.

Sometimes I am.

So, you're a church lady?

I go. It's important to me.

And what about confession?

Yeah.

Well, maybe not so much.

Does the priest

ever ask you about sex?

He doesn't ask,

but you're supposed to tell him everything.

And all the nasty sh*t you did,

you're just

supposed to pretend like

you're never gonna

do it again, right?

I guess.

Hmm. Strange.

And suppose you've done

something really nasty?

He doesn't press

you for the details?

I don't think so.

You're blushing.

Mm-mmm.

Okay,

we can change the subject.

We'll talk about my sex life.

You're teasing.

Just rattling your cage.

What a world.

Do you think

the world is strange?

I meant yours.

Hello?

Reiner, are you there?

Counselor.

I think I'm in.

You can't think, Counselor.

You're in or you're out.

All right, I'm in. And thanks.

Don't thank me yet.

I won't say, "I hope you know what

you're doing" because you don't.

But, money problems

are serious problems.

You keep telling yourself
