Big Boss thinks the Mexicans will start trouble. Does not know what man is responsible—what man is saying big words and starting trouble. You can help if you find out and tell me who the man is.”,“Such rough shaking, I don’t like. You must pick the apples.”,"What a serious accusation! and one I think slightly unfounded.
