Not Long Enough
You are telling me I haven’t played long enough?
Do you expect me to believe any of that stuff?
What I am requesting is really no big deal.
My wife and I would like a comp for a meal.
I have been here all day with tables and machines.
I have been here so long. I am sick of these scenes.
What you are saying to me is I need more play?
I have dumped a lot of money here. I’ve been here all day.
We have been in this place so many times before.
If I can’t get a comp from you, I won’t come back here anymore!
