The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is out of print ):

[wottagal]

Would you stop going on about that? I heard you loud and clear the first six hundred times. This is why I always say you take what you want, when you want it. Serves you right for waffling around like that.

Not that I see why you'd wanna read about that sorry old sop's life anyway, mind you. 'Course he probably had a lot of adventures, did a lotta stupid, brave stunts, had to beat impossible odds and rush headlong into dangers that woulda send most men screaming and he still came out on top every time...

Shut your trap. I don't want to read your Companion copy.

I think she's upset about not getting those comics. I really don't see the big deal. If she really wants to read a handsome, adventurous duck, my sweetie is still in stock.

[wottagal]

If she's so upset, maybe your man doesn't measure up. [Goldie, don't be mean...] Not that I see the big deal either way - who'd wanna read about all that macho business regardless of the duck?

[femmefatalefowl]

[Twitch. But it's not nice to zap strangers.]

You don't think there's anything exciting about it either way?

[wottagal]

[Goldie probably deserves a zap or two, but Scrooge might disapprove.]

I get more than my share of excitement at the saloon - I really don't need it in my silly escapism as well. Readin' for pleasure's never been my thing anyway.

[femmefatalefowl]

But there's a huge difference here! It's reading about the man you love!

[wottagal]

Love?! Who told you something that ridiculous? He's the most impossibly stupid, stubborn idiot of a tightwad I've ever laid my eyes on!

[femmefatalefowl]

... Really?

... Because before you described him very positively...

[Smirk. Ah, denial, she's been there, honey.]
