Oh Now wait a minute you do not know what fifty thousand of your American dollars can mean to a young man fresh in his What you call career the Gomez is it not true? Well, yeah, it's a lot of dough to hold them in front of a young fellow But there's a big difference between that much cash and just a promise of insurance money The eyes of a young man are easily blinded by this beautiful woman. I'm ego.

She may have left behind Until I tore into her and believe me. I did Now you look if you didn't murder those two young kids where you might as well have plunged in the knife yourself I don't know. I don't know what laws what legal action may be dragged in to make you pay for what you've done But there are moral laws to laws of decency.
