  1. When Flick says to me, in the course of a conversation or when offering advice, "Can I be honest with you here.?"

    This implies that he has never been honest to me in the past.

  2. Alright Flick, now you got me thinking here: I was in Turkey Hill the other day, I splurged on a half gallon of Ice Cream. I go to the check out it cost me something like $3.50. The cashier says for only a $1.50 more you can get another half gallon. I said no thanks, I only need this one. The cashier continues, well its a really good deal, I say to her; "I can see YOU have been taking full advantage of this deal." "Im not interested, I say!!!" Flick is this a deal you would be interested in?

    I ask the questions and you give the answers.

    Any other way, it doesn't work.
