*Lizzie pursed her lips and looked back to him again.*
"Well...you're damned lucky yer my brother, or you'd be up a crik with no paddle."
*She looked away and sighed.*
"I'll see what I can do."
*She rolled her body back to face him.*
"But you gotta help me find a job."

"Oh naw, Jake. This one said girls only. Ain't no rough girls, right? At least not one I can't take in a scrap."

"It's gonna be great, you'll see. Then we can get separate rooms even. Might even be able to board there. I'd be right out of yer hair."
