Fran looked at Hank after Deuce Rat ran away and said to him, "Hank, I know you are stupid, but at least don't repeat the nonsense others tell you. In the future, it will save me a lot of trouble when I have to bail you out of jail for opening your fat mouth."
Hank, not sure if any of this was even his fault, was glad that Deuce got away so he could spend time with him later. But looking at his wife, Hank said, "Fran, you know that I can't abandon my friends. Besides, Deuce owes me drinks from the last time I paid for him during our visit to the courtesan quarter."
Fran's neck cracked as her head did a ninety-degree turn upon hearing Hank talk about money again. "HANK, TODAY IS THE DAY I BEAT YOU SENSELESS OR MY NAME IS NOT FRAN GUNDERSON!"
