Are you s t r e t c h i n g for a fight, Gus? Bored with Bill?

haven't we all ..

"could have been useful"? Are you saying people only get one bite
at an apple? One glance at their hole cards? What a toughie you are,
Gus. Off-the-top-of-the-head comments are bound to be silly, you know?

Another demand for another meaningless apology? It's Peter's time
to do with as Peter pleases, Gus. Wlod's got nothing to do with it.
But, if Peter is being horribly, horribly injured by the time he's
spending hip-shooting I'm sure we can find at least a half-dozen
hanky snifling, ladies-in-waiting to stroke his fuzzy facial hair and
lament over his self-inflicted wounds. Maybe not tho' .. but I bet
Jim could probably arrange it, now that he's back.

"Quick, find a nurse! Peej has stabbed himself in the eye again.
But first, find Gus, we need a call for someone to apologize."

"This is always so much fun to watch."

Or not ... except for when Mercury is in 'retrograde'?
But that's not 'til March, right?
