"I know, but I saw a need in these neighborhoods. Lots of single women needing handy men around the house. Women see me and they flock like bees to honey from changing a stupid light bulb to lighting the gas. I figured we'd keep the guys on with internal home knowledge instead of laying them off like usual for the extra work. Is it good business?"

"Only if she wants to press charges. We'll have to see once she wakes up. Until then can you do me a favor?"
