When some nut decides to clamber

Sir, if I was in his place I

wouldn't push you away like that.

And keep your mouth shut!

You do what you're doing!

meeting someone.

I'll go now.

- Yeah. Thanks.

Bye. Thanks.

Why don't you quit smoking?

I have quit a hundred times...

That's not what you call quitting...

Then what do you call quitting?

Like my dad and mum quitting

on each other?

I don't quit! Quitters are those

who can't see it through to the end!

What if you start hating it?

"Shut up, just shut up..."
