Richter Boudreau:
How uh, how old are you? Cherry: I don't think you can tell that by looking between my legs. Richter Boudreau: I... I'm sorry, I wasn't really looking. Cherry: You weren't looking? Richter Boudreau: No, I have this wandering eye, my right eye sort of drifts. Cherry: You were drifting. Richter Boudreau: I was mesmerized, okay. Cherry: I mesmerized you? Richter Boudreau: Well, you walk around looking like that, someone's bound to look. It's almost a fact of nature. I mean look, I could take down by pants and we'll see who's looking. Cherry: Go ahead. Richter Boudreau: No. Cherry: You're shy. Richter Boudreau: First of all, I'm not wearing pants per se. Cherry: Your boxers then. See more » |
