46. Anything for a Kiss p.310

 
    Martin and Sally have just watched Thai Boxing.
M: How did you like the fight, Sally?
S: I found it not only too violent but also very brutal.
M: You\'re right. It\'s amazing how the fighters can take not only the punching but all the kicking as well.
I wouldn\'t be able to handle it.
S: Oh, don\'t be so modest, Martin.
M: No, really. I wouldn\'t fight one of those tough guys for all the money in the world.
S: Would you do it for a kiss?
M: That\'s a different story. Sure, I will. But you\'ve got to pay in advance. (Martin tries to kiss Sally.)
S: No, please don\'t. I was only kidding.

(I would do) anything for a kiss.
