Are you
going to
the flea
market
this
weekend ? |
Bobby |
Yeah. I've got to talk to one of the booth owners. |
Jason |
What for ? |
Bobby |
I
have
an axe
to grind
with
him. |
Jason |
I didn't know that. |
Bobby |
Yeah, he ripped me
off. He bought my comic book collection and didn't give me a fair
price. |
Jason |
Well, you accepted it. |
Bobby |
That's true, but I
regret it, too. |
