I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you've lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.»

We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end?»
«But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, / And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.»
