Say, you got a light? I lost my lighter and I’ve been driving all night. Sure could use a smoke. Thanks. What’s that? How’d I lose the lighter? Well, I was… working. What do I do? Oh, I’m in business. Do some travel. That sort of thing. I was finishing up a job, tying up a loose end or two. I thought I might take a couple of days off, and I didn’t want anything hanging over my head. You know how it goes. And… hey, you think I could get a piece of that pie to go with this coffee? Sure does look good. Anyhow, I went in, did what I had to do, and walked off without my lighter, and now here I am, three states away, and can’t light a cigarette without depending on the kindness of strangers, I guess you’d say. It was a stupid thing to do; I’ve had that thing since I was a teenager. What was I…? Well, I guess you could say I was decorating. Left everything lit up real pretty like Christmas. Oh, I suppose somebody will find the lighter, but I’ll… well, I’ll be out of town for some time. This sure is some good pie. Does she, now? Well, you give her my compliments. I gotta hit the road, but… no, now, you keep the change. No, I insist. Oh, you’re welcome. You have a merry Christmas, you hear? Alright, I’ll do my best. And thanks again for the matches.
