Kicking back!

 
 

7. Shadow Dancing

 
 
 

Without warning, they blithely run off the road, abandoning the playing field of rational discourse – Logic means nothing in their world. With phony come-ons, they try to insinuate themselves into your life, knowing there's something about you — the way you were raised, your innate sense of decency — just something they can spot to take advantage of you — You don't have to let them — With a little knowledge and a sense of humor, you can give it right back.

A nice life is what you allow into it ... Another terrible job is making violin strings.

—Don't say anything; don't sign anything; just put it in the bank.

 

"Sorry to block your way again."
—Kicking back!
—Are you trying to make me feel like a heel?

—You know, when you have an idea, follow it through.
