If anything happens after we shake hands, I walk. Paperwork or not; book or no book. I don't question the (un)fairness of it, or the game; just the name. Your guy sounds like Jerry Lundegaard ▶ this video

I sat right here and said I don't want any TruCoat! We had a deal, here, for $19,500! You sat there and darned if you didn't tell me you'd get me this car, these options, without the sealant, for $19,500! These guys, here. These guys! It's always the same! It's always more! ▶ this video
