{{quote| '''Joe''': You look terrible, Mr. Waturi. You look like a bag of shit stuffed in a cheap suit. Not that anyone could look good under these zombie lights. I, I, I, I can feel them sucking the juice out of my eyeball. Suck, suck, suck, SUCK... ''(makes a sucking noise)'' For 300 bucks a week, that's the news. For 300 bucks a week, I've lived in this sink, this used rubber.<br />
'''Mr. Waturi''': You watch it, mister! There's a woman here!<br />
'''Joe''': Don't you think I know that, Frank? Don't you think I am aware there is a woman here? I can smell her, like, like a flower. I can taste her, like sugar on my tongue. When I'm 20 feet away I can hear the fabric of her dress when she moves in her chair. Not that I've done anything about it. I've gone all day, every day, not doing, not saying, not taking the chance for 300 bucks a week, and Frank, the coffee stinks, it's like arsenic. The lights give me a headache. If the lights don't give you a headache, you must be dead; let's arrange the funeral.<br />
'''Mr. Waturi''': You better get outta here right now! I'm telling you!<br />
'''Joe''': You're telling me nothing. And why, I ask myself, why have I put up with you? I can't imagine, but now I know. Fear. Yellow freakin' fear. I've been too chicken shit afraid to live my life so I sold it to you for 300 freakin' dollars a week! You're lucky I don't kill you! You're lucky I don't rip your freakin' throat out! But I'm not going to! And maybe you're not so lucky at that. [[Fate Worse Than Death|'Cause I'm gonna leave you here, Mr. Wahoo Waturi, and what could be worse than that?]] }}
