| “ | Retirement's hard, thought about sellin' anythin' that's worth a damn then buy a little property out in the country side. But the government will find anythin' to tax you on. Then, I thought about using that money to buy as much explosives as I can fit into the Stalker and commit suicide by Dallas. Hell, easiest retirement plan I made so far. | ” |
