I tell you what we're gonna do, Marlboro. You're gonna take that goddamn J.C. Penney tie off and we're gonna have an old fashioned man to man drinking party.

Well, that's okay but I'm not taking off the tie.

Roger Wade

What'll you have?

What are you drinking?

Roger Wade

What I'm drinking is called Aquavit.

I'm drinking what you're drinking.
