"but those eyes, you know, i can't just take stuff from someone who's just got such sweet puppy dog eyes." purposeful or not. "so how about we do a little trade? i get the book, and you get a dinner this saturday. on me, of course. hell, i'll even pick you up." yes, it's a date. yes, it's a totally selfish trade! @feltrain
