{{TB|Since I rescued you and all, uh, I'm hoping you can keep quiet about our little “deal.”}}
{{Tapped Out Frankie the Squealer Icon}}
{{TB|You mean the fact that you accepted a bribe from my Mafia buddies to keep your nose out of their business?}}
{{Tapped Out Frankie the Squealer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Well, I already tweeted about it, but you can erase those. Consider it forgotten!}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|Er uh, how long were you in that trunk anyway?}}

{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Oh yes, it will! That was the most enjoyable dinner I've had in years!}}
{{Tapped Out Frankie the Squealer Icon}}
{{TB|But you just sat and ate in silence while your wife and I talked.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}

{{TB|Marry someone who becomes President and then start authoritatively spouting off on policy issues, even though you're, uh, utterly unqualified to do so.}}
{{Tapped Out Frankie the Squealer Icon}}
{{TB|But if I marry someone else, your wife won't want to hang out with me.}}

{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|…and host a TV show with celebrities who haven't been famous since before the Internet was invented.}}
{{Tapped Out Frankie the Squealer Icon|Surprised}}
{{TB|A billion dollars?! How am I going to earn that?}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon|Smug}}
