That book seller did say Choi's young'uns just up and
aced that state exam, if my memory ain't playin' tricks on me.
We jus' so happened to bump into him while searchin' for
that handbook. Don't that make you jingle-jangle with suspicion?
But... damn, he sure went and pulled out all the stops, didn't he?
Brought along a whole lot of escorts, too?

And try not to make a peep!
