Greetings.
Eddie Berthanse here.
Remember Michael Mann's "jag-off classic," Thief (1981)?
Did you see that one?
I did.
There was a top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art jag-off named Leo.
He was played by Robert Prosky.
At first, he was nice.
He offered to be friends with James Caan's Frank character.
He called him a "high-line pro."
He called him "Dr. Wizard."
Then?
Then Leo turned into a ball-bustin' jag bag!
He stole Caan's money.
He blew a hole in Jim Belushi's chest.
He said, quote, "I'll whack out your whole gosh darn family. Kids'll be eatin' 'em in their wimpy burgers tomorrow, and not know it."
So Caan blew his innards all over the wall.
You know why?
Because Leo was a Jag-Off!
Don't be a jag-off.
Don't be a jag-BAG.
Maybe, just maybe, YOU won't get "jagged."
Got it?
