Jimmy looked at Justin, and it seemed like horns had suddenly sprouted on the head of this middle-aged Caucasian hunk.

Jimmy, "You crook, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Justin, "You weren't here with me back then, how could I tell you? I couldn't possibly quote a price over the phone, that'd hurt our feelings."

Jimmy, "Telling me now hurts our feelings even more. We're so close, you're breaking my heart."

Justin, "If you're heartbroken, you can go home and recover slowly, but you still have to pay what's due. Separate the things, will you?"

Jimmy silently took a sip of his drink and muttered, "All gone, I used everything on this trip."

Justin was surprised. Jimmy's Gold Coins always came from him, and Justin knew exactly how much one could do with five of them.

Justin, "What? What on earth did you need five Gold Coins for?" Justin leaned closer to Jimmy and whispered, "Did you kill someone? Otherwise, you wouldn't need that many Gold Coins."
