Spenser: Small Vices1999

Hawk:
Well, you turned him down. He ask for a referral?

Vinnie:
No.

Hawk:
Any idea where he might ask next?

Gino Fish:
He knew where to ask. Vinnie's the best.

Gino Fish:
One of the two best. My feeling and Vinnie's is that when he hires, he will hire out of the city and he will get someone good. He offered Vinnie excellent money.

Hawk:
That's nice. See, Spenser's feelings be hurt, they try to ace him cut-rate.
