:12:02
It's too easy with amateurs.

You try to figure out who's
professional and who isn't.
:12:06

:12:10
You know, most of my salesmen...
:12:13
couldn't sniff out

:12:15

man, you never miss.
:12:19
What's to miss?

:12:26
I'm always there
to clean up the mess.
:12:28
I'll tell you what.
:12:29

join my staff.
:12:32
I'll make it worth your while.

I'm my own man.
Nobody pulls my strings.
:12:38
I'm independent, I'm happy.
:12:40
Well, be my man one more time.
