- Oh, sure. But it was sort of embarrassing.

- Yeah. I can see how it might have been.

- Honestly, I almost died. There I was with a perfectly strange plumber, and no polish on my toenails.

- You got a cigarette around?

- A cigarette? Cigarette? Oh, sure. Coming up.

- Here you are.

- Actually, the whole thing is just ridiculous.

- What club was that?

- This club I lived at before I moved in here. I hated it.
