i should fire you right now , cowpoke , and the only reason i 'm not going to is that there 's about a two percent chance you might be right ; when i came out of chasen 's last night maybe i did n't look under the door handle , maybe i did and maybe i did n't , but if you ever talk to me again , if you ever say any more than 'hello , mr. sloat ' or 'goodbye , mr. sloat , ' i 'll get you fired so fast you 'll think you were beheaded .
