The sound of my fist striking the table echoes through the downstairs hall. Joe: MICHAEL, GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT! You appear at the top of the staircase, descending with slow, unsteady steps, your face pale and drawn. Joe: What in God's name is wrong with you? Michael: Please... don't be angry. Joe: ...?

I don't give a damn if you're puking onstage or collapsing from exhaustion—you make me money!
