Now go straight down to Masters and get the super glue solvent, and if you see Grant tell him to stop it with the practical jokes. Now hurry, there’s only so much time I can spend pretending someone’s on this phone.

With the pressure of leadership starting to take its toll, Wayne starts to suspect his own shadow is following him.
“Look, there it is, and it’s pointing back at me!”

With his life about to be snuffed out, Wayne Furbert pointed in confused dismay at the familiar face of the gun weilding driver. What he would never know is that the recently post op Grant Gibbons, was never going to be content with just being finance minister. No, he was a new Grant Gibbons for an even newer Bermuda; a Grant Gibbons with a Wayne Furbert smile.

Well Grant, "How much?" is a valid question and I sincerely appreciate your interest, however, I'm afraid that responding effectively requires further consultation with my colleagues to ensure that I adequately address your thoughtful inquiry in an appropriate manner while addressing the immediate concerns of electorate with due consideration for the requirements of those most affected by this interesting and attractive proposition, blah, blah, blah...

"Is it just me or do you hear something ringing?"

"I'm all about change. You think this car's big.... you just wait. When I become Premier I'm going to allow goddam Hummers! Yes siree, we're even going to change the name of the party to the UBCP.
