A never was, I tell ya. I'll take this to the top... to JP himself, see? Why I oughttta...." She paused to take a long draft of her ice cold appletini,"If you were half a man you'd hand that Henderson his walkin' papers, that's what I think. But you're nothing but a pusilanimous pip-squeak.

"Yes, running your mouth. Now put down that appletini and let me explain"

"Well, okay, but you better make it fast, see? This had better be good or so help me..."
