Well, I can’t rightly absolve you of your sins if you don’t recall, can I. That being said, I’ve seen good men do bad things and bad men do good things. Whether you’re gonna end up in heaven or hell, is not God’s plan, it’s your own. You just gotta remember what it was.

Your daughter’s suit was tricky, but I finally created a sturdy material that can disappear completely as she does. Your suit can stretch as far as you can without injuring yourself, and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible, yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton.

Look, there’s no reason you and I shouldn’t get along. Forget all the bullshit from before – I don’t even remember how it started. You took a swing at me over some fuckin’ thing, whatever it was – I say fuck that. You owe me some money, I say fuck that too. But this, you don’t say a fuckin’ word about this to anybody. It’s strictly between you and me, right?
