Final Words

“	Good God, pull that knife out of my back. Gosh, I'm mistaken. There's two knives back there. It's Rob and Amber. But I'm going to be on that jury, and the sticking's going to be my turn. But listen, don't worry about me. If you can live with it, I can live with it, and I'm going to live with it happily ever after. So, farewell, fair-weather friends.	”
—Tom Buchanan
