Tough. A real shame. You knew her?

You read about those two naked

girls down in San Diego?

It was in all the papers.

of real lesbos.

Whats the matter cat got your tongue?

lesbos are you?

Okay. But you even

breathe in my direction,

and youll be eating your

balls for lunch.

picture without Paula.

runner weve ever had. And you know it.

jogging for god sakes.

picture without Paula.

How bout it coach. What was

the calculated risk?
