"I beg to differ. Look at Coleman's hands. He didn't bring anything with him at all." "Eh? I think you're right. If he isn't here to give Bonnie a Valentine's Day gift, then why is he here?

There's no way he would cempty-handed and not give Bonnie anything on Valentine's Day." "You make a fine point. I also think he's here just for show."

"I'm going to leave now, Bonnie. Letknow if anyone picks on you and badmouths you again. I'll be back to teach them a lesson!"
