“P-O-O-K-A. **Pooka**. From old Celtic mythology, a fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one. A benign but mischievous creature. Very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?”

Like to make a little bet? After all, you’re just a Freshman. Wait till you’re a Sophomore. That’s when you start seeing the little animals. You know that stuff about pink elephants? That’s the bunk. It’s little animals. Little tiny turkeys in straw hats. Midget monkeys coming through the key holes. See that guy over there? With him, its beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark though.

Angel: Poppy, would you pass the sugar, please?  
Poppy: Okay, but it’s really bad for you. Eight times more addictive than cocaine. Five times more likely to cause death. But it’s legal. So, you go ahead, knock yourself out. Don’t get me started on tobacco and alcohol. Peddle that stuff and you’re in Fortune 500. But me? No! I’m out here hiding in the middle of nowhere. Homesick. Because I sell drugs.

And there is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can’t. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that’s it, I’m done.
