I get asked if I can do a favor all the time. I am like what are you wanting first. Not about to agree until I know.

Yeah, the answer to "can you do me a big favor?" is "what's up?"

Hey Weasel, promise me something?

Hell no! Not until I have an idea of the scale of this pact we're entering into. Am I obligating myself to call you on your birthday every year? Are we burying a body? Do you want me to keep "reaching for the stars"? Big difference there, Joanne.
