Let me explain it to you: that little bottle is worth a great deal – it can buy you many full bottles of- I don’t want to get rid of it. Would you like to trade that for many bottles of booze? Many. Ooh… that is a tough decision. But this is the only one I have, I only have one flask. We can buy you another flask that can hold whiskey just as well as that one, and here’s the thing: you know that I was very interested in those books – and we came here for books and booze, and you’ve gotten a little booze but we can get a lot and those books are expensive but I know we can get enough money for it, and I really don’t feel like pushing our luck here with the law in town and pulling a fast one again.
