Are you
going to

market
this
weekend ? |
| Bobby |
Yeah. I've got to talk to one of the booth owners. |
| Jason |
What for ? |
| Bobby |
I
have
an axe
to grind
with
him. |
| Jason |
I didn't know that. |
| Bobby |
Yeah, he ripped me
off. He bought my comic book collection and didn't give me a fair
price. |
| Jason |
Well, you accepted it. |
| Bobby |
That's true, but I
regret it, too. |
