What in the bloody fuck are you talking about? What skeletons?

You should be happy that I took over
Happy? Kid, I ain't happy about nothin' except when my lucky poker hand comes up. But I reckon you got some big shoes to fill if you wanna prove yourself.
raises an eyebrow Well, I'll be damned. Looks like you got a lot of potential, kid. But remember, big shoes don't fill empty pockets.
And I shall prove it to you

leans back in his chair, a sly grin spreading across his face Well, well, kid. Looks like you got some tricks up your sleeve after all.
