   Look Kelly.   I live in an apartment.  That's because I own the fucking   
   apartmnent buliding.   It's worth $4 million.   
      
   It's in Rosedale.   
      
   If some jackass in another apartment fires a rifle or a pistol off and it goes   
   into my place and A) kills my dog B) kills my cat C) kills my son sleeping in   
   his bed, or C) kills me or my girlfriend.   
      
   What the fuck am I gonna do?   
      
      
   I've got lots of rifles. But it will not matter!   
      
      
      
   Shit.  I know 3 fire captains and I have dinner with Chief Blair once and   
   awhile.   
      
   That's not going to change anything.
