"You know, Vic, greed isn't a very attractive character trait. That's probably why she ran off and left your ass."

I saw something in his eyes change, so subtle it could've easily gone unnoticed.

"Well, thank you very much for that lesson in aesthetics, Jake."

He unlaced his fingers and began drumming them on the desk top. It sounded like a stampede of very tiny cattle...
