“Feels like every time we come ’round here’s somethin’ real good happens.” — Yea Boss — I reckon we should come around here more often, say? “Now you’re gettin’ it, kid.”
Kid nearly squeals. Imagines marrying his boss, at a fancy hotel. Boss in crisp white tux. Kid in long red dress bedazzled with rhinestones. They adopt 3 kids. Have a large dog named Lasagna. Vacation in Biarritz. Start a textile company beloved by everyone in the industry and is incredibly lucrative.
