He’ll probably ask her, “what’s a publicist??”

I thought she’d try to rub it in Mike’s face!….Of course, she will probably still do that!

I doubt that she could “do what (she) wants” with the money.

MaCarthur Genius Grant…what a great idea….give some dough to somebody.

Here comes Zonker!

Zeke: Okay, but we can do that with a Mediterranean cruise, a trip to Vegas, and a Lamborghini, right? Right??
