"Why leaving so briskly?"

"Yeah, sorry about that, I wanted to leave to time to consider."

"Well, I am considering."

"If I accepted... Only if! That would mean—"

"That you'd be a serpent. We don't just give out leather jackets."

"You didn't want Betty to be a serpent."

"Betty's not you."

"Hell yeah she isn't! I am not gonna strip in front of a bunch of horny middle aged men."

"Very funny Lodge."

"What would I get out if it?"

"For starters, security. You wouldn't have to worry about money ever again, and if they ever make you deal, it won't be hard drugs like with the Ghoulies."

"Talking about the Ghoulies... they won't be happy if I switch to the Serpents."

"We'll handle it."

"If I say yes, that doesn't mean we'll be back together... you know that right?"

"Of course, Lodge."

"Then what would you get of it?"

"Well I won't have you, but it will something."

"'Something', I like that."
