Bob
Oh, Jimmy's got a point, Cole. The "Younger-James" gang is confusing.
Cole
How's that, Bob?
Bob
Well, say we burst into a bank and we go, "We're the Younger-James gang!" Now people are gonna be thinkin', "The younger James gang? Is there an older James gang? How come we never heard of the older James gang?" So people are tryin to figure that out instead of raisin their arms.

Oh, I'm not finished. "When he sauntered into a saloon, his spurs jangling and his pockets full of gold, the ladies flocked around him like flies to a candied apple." As I said... hmm.

Frank
That's Shakespeare. Now he's European.
