Are those cigarettes yours? I thought you quit. If you go back to it, your teeth and fingers will be nicotine-stained; your breath and clothes will smell smoky. M: I didn?t. I swear.

Sounds like gunshots! W: It?s the local “youth” throwing firecrackers. Don?t go out. They?re likely to throw one at you or put one through the letterbox if you bother them.
