Nancy is one of those people who can keep a poker face, while they say all kinds of things. But what she said here, is rather mild, one would think. Even still, O’Malley kept on ducking and dodging. Couldn’t he tell that he was being toyed with? ‘Rope-A-Dope’ed”, as it were?
A fine moment of levity for the day!
These people are so earnest about their collusion with pathology that they just cannot keep their feet on the ground despite knowing that they are perpetrating a hoax. Same reason they have no sense of humor.
