`` C'mon man, take it out of me. Please!'' 
 
 `` No Phil, I told you this is n't how it works.'' 
 
 Phil looked as haggard as Sam had ever seen him. His suit was a mess, there were bags under his eyes and his receding hair lay in a greasy tumble on the top of his head. 
 
 `` Sam please; for an old friend,'' Phil begged. `` I'm done with it. I'm done with being evil. I ca n't drive without wanting to run someone over. I ca n't stand in line without wanting to hit the person in front of me, young or old. I ca n't walk down the street because I ca n't resist the urge to throw someone into oncoming traffic!'' 
 
 `` Sorry man, you know the rules,'' replied Sam. `` Ca n't steal from anyone you know.'' 
 
 `` C'mon! Please!'' 
 
 `` Nope.'' 
 
 `` For me!?'' 
 
 `` Sorry.'' 
 
 `` Just do it Sam!'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 The two stared at each other blankly in the dimly lit room. Phil had grown desperate but Sam remained firm. 
 
 `` OK OK. How about this?'' Phil's voice began to shake with the excitement of his idea. `` How about I change my name?'' 
 
 `` Change your name? I'm not sure that'll work pal, sorry.'' 
 
 `` OK what if I moved house too? I'll even quit my job! I'll start volunteering at the homeless shelter! I'll adopt unwanted pets!'' Phil pleaded, his mind racing for ideas. 
 
 `` Hmm maybe Phil but I ca n't make any promises,'' Sam replied. This was always the hardest part for him. The uncertainty if they'd really change. Watching old friends and acquaintances run out that door and not knowing whether or not they'd end up right back in front of him. 
 
 `` I'll do it, I'll really do it Sam!'' Phil assured him. `` I'll do the things I said, I'll be different and you'll sort me out.'' 
 
 And with that Phil hurried for the exit, when he swung open the door the sound of the busy street poured in. Phil glanced back. 
 
 `` Your a good man Sam,'' he said as he shut the door, returning silence to the room. `` See you soon!'' 
 
 Sam hoped he never would.
