“Dude, what is your deal<\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

“What? I’m just taking a couple of pictures.”<\/p>\n

“A couple? You’ve taken, like, forty pictures of me already today. You’re cramping my style. I’m trying to go for a walk, here. I’ve got bushes to sniff, lawns to pee on, critters to chase– I don’t have time for photography.”<\/p>\n

“Sorry, but you remember that book contract?”<\/p>\n
