"You not too old?"

"No. Does your boyfriend shoot that much stuff?"

"No. That too much. Oh. I see. You shoot like young man."

"That's right. So, if you say you come here a few times each month to teach dance, you can keep the money, the tip, and I really will let you teach me to dance."

"Oh good. But..."

"What now?"

"Remember. You use hand two days before I come teach you."

"No problem. No problem at all."

"Do you want dance lesson now?"

"No sweetness. I think I'd like to watch you dance some more and see what comes up."

"Comes up?"

"Yes. You know, see if you make me hard again."

"Oh. Comes up. I get now. Tee-hee. Comes up. Comes up. Okay. I dance again."

"Do you want another beer?"

"No. There no room in my belly."
