"You're crazy," he managed, his words laced generously with pretense — it was easy to detect. "Call me crazy but I have always believed in your wisdom." "Écoutez!" "I am making an offer that benefits every party that would be involved. I am giving you permission for the rest of the week. Why not get what you want before it becomes difficult to even come close?"
