    Baretta: Aw now Charlie man, let me give you a little advice from my old man, he always said, 'Son, whenever you think you ain't good enough for somebody, it's cuz you ain't seein' yourself, the way they're seein' you. Alright Fats, here's the wine, here so you can make that food go down into your big belly. I'm embarrassed Mama, man comes to your house and eats your food and complains that it ain't greasy enough, outta keep him outside with the dog. edit »
