"You're a good man, Randolph. I wish I could've been more like you. I wasn't bad in my youth, but my life detoured off into a dirt road of crime and corruption. And I've never been able to wash that filth off me."
"Maybe you just didn't find a powerful enough soap bar, Sharkey. It's never too late to go shopping for another one."
He laughed. "Yeah, maybe I will..... Maybe I will."

Oh no! Is this becoming a soap opera, Christopher? Only kidding...I can't wait to find out what gives with Heidi. :-)

I didn't like that line about the soap, but I couldn't come up with an alternative so I had to leave it.
Ah, Heidi. Things have taken a different turn with her than what I originally planned.
