“Trust me, true?"Butch barked a laugh. "Last time you said that i ended up with a vampire cocktail, remember?”

"I mean, come on.""They're for fighting, not fashion.""So are kilts, but you don't see me rocking the tartan.""And thank God for that. You're too bowlegged to pull that shit off."Butch assumed a bored expression. "You can bite me.”
