THOSE KIDS. YOU NEED TO TAKE A GOOD LONG

LOOK AT YOURSELF. YOU RELY ON EVERYBODY

IF YOU HAD ONE CENT, YOU'D SPEND IT ON YOURSELF, OR YOU'D PUT IT IN SOME STUPID

SCHEME THAT DOESN'T PAY OFF. AND ON TOP OF THAT,

MY LITTLE TIMMY HAS A BLACK EYE FOR THE CHRISTMAS PORTRAI THIS YEAR BECAUSE HARLEY WAS TOO BUSY

SAVING YOUR BUTT, INSTEAD OF WALKING HIM HOME
