“Oh, hell to the no, he did not just storm out of there like a drama queen. She was going to find him and then castrate him.”

“Della pretty much told him the same thing. And she gave him hell. The kind of hell only Della can dish out. Told him he was a piece of monkey shit and that he should go have himself castrated.”

“How the hell did he get himself into this position in the first place? Oh, yeah, some little woman approached him in a bar and said she paid him for sex.”

“She was the only solace he could find in the storm raging around him, like a lighthouse shining through the darkness of a violent hurricane.”

“What the hell was that?""Puma," he said. "Mountain lion.""I knew that was a lion." She stopped suddenly. "You didn't hurt him, did you?""Marcie, he wanted to eat you! Are you worried about his soul or something?""I just wanted him to go away," she said. "I didn't want him to go dead."-Marcie and Ian”

“Oh bloody hell. She'd just stolen the queen's ring.”
