First of all, you wouldn’t want to play
Nuclear weapons with this fucker.
Does he look as tough and cold
As you’ve ever seen?
This is not like your average real-estate guy
Who’s rough and mean.
This guy’s beyond that.
You see it in the eyes.
This guy is a killer.
How about when I asked,
Were you a boxer? Whoa!
That nose is a piece of rubber!
But me, he liked.
When we went out to the elevator,
He was grabbing me,
Holding me,
He felt very good.
And he liked what I do.
