Page 1 of 4I have no response to that.
You have some time left, Mr. Banks. You have some life left. My advice to you is: live it well.
You're coming into focus, kid
Well, does it take more guts to twice traverse a staircase in a burning building, or to make a one-time leap into a volcano? Damned if I know, Kimosabe. All I know is when you're making those kind of calls, you're up in the high country.

Would you like to hear one of my poems?
Sure.
