John Person: Who are you?

Cowboy: I'm just a cowboy, John. Pure and simple.

John Person: No, Dan, I'm waiting to deliver a mysterious suitcase to a hooker-killing cowboy who's supposed to give me $27,000. On top of that I've got my neighbor's head in a bowling ball bag under my sink.

Randy: She broke up with me!

John Person: So you tied her up?

John Person: This is not how you treat a woman. You don't kidnap a woman. You don't tie her to a chair. You don't put a gag in a woman's mouth!
