Tales from the Darkside1983

Michael Nelson:
Those poor people, if only you knew.

Jeanette Simpson:
Maybe I know better than you think.

Michael Nelson:
Know what better?

Jeanette Simpson:
Well I wasn't born with central air conditioning and a view of the park, no. I had to pull myself up, climb up brick by brick, and on my way I learned there are no real sad stories only leeches pretending. And I learned not to get involved with any of them.

Michael Nelson:
How did you learn that?

Jeanette Simpson:
By marrying a real bum. Only for a year, oh he would've been thrilled to see you. Nothing he loved more than his welfare check, a fifth of whiskey, and me to kick around for the night.

Michael Nelson:
I'm so sorry.

Jeanette Simpson:
I had it coming. Daddy told me 'There are 2 kinds of people in this world, doers and takers, and it's the job of the doers not to be taken in by the takers'.
