You want me to join your little boys club?Go on grand adventures?See the world?...Get eaten alive by some oversized eel?Alright, alright.But I ask for something simple in exchange.Real simple.Like even you would understand, simple.I want you to take all your thoughts, comments and opinions.And shove them so far up your ass that I can't even hear a smothered whisper.**Nowak**...Wow.You're a dick.Whatever. Goodbye.**Arnold**\*Arnold hisses more cruelties quietly to himself.\*

No.**Bosch**We both know you could do it.C'mon, one fell swoop.**Nowak**No!**Bosch**\*Bosch crudely mimes bludgeoning Arnold.\***Nowak**C'mon, we're leaving.
