“You’ll probably faint,” Luke said, winking “But don’t worry, big boy, I’ll catch you when you fall”

“I wasn’t with a man until after Lucy dumped me”

“I know,” Rex sang,him “I’ve done my research That’s not what this is about and you know it Lucy gave you the tools you needed to destroy her She allowed you to pull her into a lifestyle she already wanted because we taught her about that lifestyle However, she caitimate business needs and you mixed business with pleasure only because you wanted to later use it against her”

“That’s not how it happened”

“Are you denying the fact that you blackmailed her?”
