Custer wanted to know what the young master saw. So Custer said, what was that? I said, it was an act. He goes, you saw that? Did he really want to go? I said, no. I said, he didn't really want to go. But he knew that we want him to go. And he made himself ready to go in order to satisfy. And that's just as good. And Gus said, damn right, it's just as good.
