“No one would guess what a heart you have. When you’re supposed to be a big bad gangster.” “I’m bad. When I have to be.” “Is there anything you wouldn’t do?” I think about that for a minute. “It depends on the circumstances.” “What if I did something terrible? Would you hate me?” “Like what?” “What if I was a cannibal. And I killed Jasper and ate him.” “Jasper’s too skinny.” “Vlad, then.” “Then I’d be like, ‘Woah, babe. Ask next time, I’ll get you a burger.’ ”
