never concern himself with such a trivial matter, it’s unseemly, and as you
know, I am a gentleman… really, Vin, laughing like that will cause people to
wonder if you’ve been sampling Loco weed. If you are quite done, I do believe I
was speaking… Thank you. As I was saying, it is beneath my dignity to be bothered
by such a thing. I am worried that you would think you could make money by
betting that I would always try to get the last word in a conversation.”
