I am willing to be corrupt too if thereā€™s THAT kind of money in it. šŸ˜ƒ man, so do I.

What a coincidence. I donā€™t know why youā€™re getting all pissyā€“I at least posited the unlikely explantion that you had actually read the novelā€¦innocent of the movie casting, you were reaching for pure literaary allusion, rather than a cheap attempt to draw attention to your good looks. ---
