{{Ricky|Aw. Oh, really?}}
{{Steve|But, um...}}
{{Ricky|So what did they sort of go? "I've always wanted to have... someone in..."}}
{{Steve|Well, no. It might be something like, you know, "I've always wanted to, uh, to sort of, to live out, uh, being a gunslinger in a wild west frontier town," you know, so you might kind of... create that fantasy.}}
{{Ricky|So what's that got to do with love--?}}
{{Steve|Well, invariably he'd find love, or he'd sort out some emotional problem he had. It was much more a spiritual and emotional journey than it was about little midgets runnin' around.}}
