>"So you're kicking me out. Just like that. Without telling me."Colby can't help but smile. As powerless as she's felt to remove Carmody from the WWA and Spaghetti Town, there's something truly cathartic about her helpless rage now.
Colby:
>"Yeah, just like you moved yourself in here! Is that poetic justice?"Carmody:
>"You can't do this to me. You actually can't. I know the laws on squatters' rights, I can stay here and tie you up until the lease runs out anyway--"Colby:
>"Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can do that, if you've got a lawyer. I'll get a lawyer too, and I'll countersue you for all the rent money you owe me. It'll go a few months, I'm sure, and it's hard saying which one of us'll win--probably me, I'll hire a better lawyer--but either way, I can afford to pay my lawyer for all that time. But for you, it's gonna be expensive, having to find a place to live on short notice, oh, but good thing you've got all those friends from the Dojo, right!? They'll help you out and take you in!"Carmody is red and shaking right now. Colby can't keep herself from smirking.
Colby:
>"Oh? No? Well, that's just too bad."Carmody takes a deep breath:
>"Colby. I can have more money to pay a lawyer than you any time I want it. The second I sign that Di--"Colby:
>"--Divine Touch contract, which you kept in the drawer of the desk in the living room, right? ..... Nah, I'll be hanging onto that."Colby sees Carmody's mouth start to open again.
Colby:
>"Oh, sure, you can go run and ask Priscilla for another one. Think she'll give it to you? Maybe. Maybe not at that inflated rate though. I can't imagine you have the same kind of market value you had back when she offered you THAT one, now that the world's seen both Priscilla and Nikki Kade ride you like a cheap Japanese motorbike on live TV and put you away with an empty gas tank. Nah, you're damaged goods. The bloom's OFF your little rose, sis. But yeah, call her, see what you can get. Make this interesting."
