Pretty sure this isn't what he had in mind.

Really sure this isn't what I had in mind.

But you're a sweet thing, aren't you? You'll treat me right. Get me going in the right direction, right, doll?

Hand isn't the body part I would have picked. In either case, it's equally unimpressive.

[philander]

Funny, I don't seem to recall you having the pleasure. Or myself, for that matter.

[seasonofthefish]

I'm shocked you manage to recall anything at all. But a girl knows. Just from the look of you.

[philander]

You seem to forget that I'm not either of the drunks in our happy little bunch. Memory's great.

[seasonofthefish]

How lovely. Do you remember the look on your son's face after your wife's death? That's grief. You should really practice it sometime.

[philander]

[oh. yep, that's his soul, surprisingly enough. stabbed.]

There's a difference between toeing a line and leaping over it.

[seasonofthefish]

Hm. What about screwing on top of it? Is that worse or somewhere in between?

[philander]

Keep on firing jealous insults at me, Angie, it's great.

[seasonofthefish]

If I had wanted you, Mr. Collins, rest assured I would have had you. In every way imaginable.

[philander]

Fantastic. Knowledge I can sleep on.

[seasonofthefish]

In some very far, far away land.

[philander]

Maybe not too far. Since, wherever a Collins goes, apparently you have to go. Pesky vendettas.

[seasonofthefish]

Oh, Barnabas might just enjoy your suffering. So play your cards right, and I may make you a very prosperous man.

[philander]

[yep he's listening.]

First you're gonna have to tell me what a winning hand is.

[seasonofthefish]

Continue being a detestable father and overall human being, and you're already holding a straight.

[philander]

Already out of the figurative picture. Nothing to worry about there.

And you promise I'll win out? In some way?
