It wasn't the story
she wanted to hear. No good was gonna
come from tellin' it, so I wanted to say,
"It doesn't matter. It's got nothin'
to do with you." But there's no upside
in lyin' to a woman who's smarter than you, so, I told her the truth. Frank told me once, if you're up against
someone bigger than you, someone you can't beat
toe to toe, make 'em think
you respect their size and then cut a deal that lets
you walk out in one piece. Then figure out a way
to stick it to 'em later without leaving
your prints on the knife. Even walkin' in there, I wasn't exactly sure
how to play it. I was just hoping,
in all that steam, he wouldn't see me sweat
