How many cigars equal a dead cow, anyway? Anybody here think that I have a shot in hell of getting Heidi back? Hey, it isn't that big a deal.
But second chances aren't given, Mike.
You have to go out there and take her back.
Be crazy.
Send her a thousand roses crazy, or crazy like Break into her apartment dressed as a clown dragging my trousers behind me on a leash? Believe me, the clown thing never works.
