Drama Quote by Jeanne McDonald
““Of course, in my mind, violence would have been better, but since that wasn’t an option, I decided to play along. “It’s okay, handsome. I’ve only been here a few minutes. I’d like to introduce you to Dick.” “No, it’s…” Richard tried to correct me only to be interrupted by Drew. “Nice to meet you, Dick,” Drew retorted.””
