For one, it was a little embarrassing having a woman who could not only kick his ass, but would occasionally have to kick the ass of others if he were in danger. That was just kind of awkward.

Stuff I have to get out, just in case, you know? In case I don't get a chance to again." And if he regretted it, well...it would make great material for a film someday.
