And so she entered his home.

As he tells me, she didn't even take her coat off.

And she stood there and told him, John, I want to bank the numbers.

And he said, are you sure about that?

She says, yes, I've thought about it.

And she explained how she would do it.

And he said, okay, it made sense to him.

I can command respect, so I'm not worried about that.
