Happy Belated Birthday Fun Day! Ah, the roses, the wine… the JEWELRY! Guess I'll have to put these beauties away. Too bad, so pretty! Press 'em in the big dictionary maybe.
Poor Jack!
But he gets most of what he wants, I guess. Oh well…
Into the safe. Into the deep confines of your new home, my pretties.
Yes, you nestle, right there among the other treasures from my secret lotharios.
Mr. X and Mr. XX — not for the faint of heart. Oh my… it's terribly warm in here!
Secrets, secrets… I've got a secret. Can you guess what it is? I bet you can't. Even if you psychoanalyze me, plagiarize me, pulverize me. Where's Bob Zimmerman when you need him. Ha! Ha!
Well, I deserve it. I really do. You see an opportunity, and you have to grab it! grab it! grab it! Or it will never come again. I did it, and it's done, and that's all there is to it.
It's going to be fine, okay, a-okay. Hmmmmm…. too much champagne, I think. Oh, oh, I think I hear the big bad wolf. Gotta go, little diary friend o' mine. Later. Go into your secret place.

Pictures don't really show much. I must look like him. Where is HE, I wonder?
At least she isn't here. THANK GOD!!!
Should I call her? What would she do? Get me a job at Ford no doubt. HAHAHAHAHA!
Don't think about it. Mustn't think about it. Nope, not going to think about it…

WHO THE HELL…..???????? The nerve! They told her! They must have! HOW could they?
What did she think I would do? @#$%$#@&^**%!!!!
Sad thing. So sad. Has she ever had a decent meal?
Her EYES are MY EYES! Scary but comforting.
Gotta think some more about this.

That woman! What's her problem? Trying to sabotage me! Pushing me… damn, damn, damn! What to do? What to do? What to do?
She's gonna be sorry. I'm gonna do something, and she'll be SORRY!
AAAAGGGHHH!!!!
Concentrate on the book. It'll all be over then. Then… then things will be RIGHT!
