• Several tables stop playing pool to stare at Mulani yelling. She smiles back innocently: "Well that's what she said!" She loves to curse.
• "She's right. The guy is like some kind of psycho babe who's constantly making false promises about gooey relationships," Mike says.
• Mulani frowns as I say, "He then forgets all about his kind gestures and goes Devil on our asses and treats ads like bad dates."
• Mulani growls: "Leave us women out! Milt is just showing poor traits common to many men. He has an unhealthy management-sized dose."
• Vishnu rolls his eyes. Mulani grins in response. He sizes up the 6-ball, but finally misses a shot. "Ha! Did you see that?" Mike laughs.
• Mike's had a few too many beers. It shows. "Vish is breakable after all! You shark! You potato drinking pool shark!"
• "Leave sharks out of this game," Vishnu says. "I am not fond of them or their many teeth." A shark's stomach isn't a small place, I think.
