"Not a lotta' people can pull it off." The cocky grin he'd been sporting suddenly faded as he realized how terrible that sounded. He hunched over and stroked his chin, muttering to himself as if Vinnie wasn't even there. "No no, that doesn't sound right..."

Only a second or two passed before Rick obliged the next line that popped into his head. He tried again, putting his hands on his hips and sticking his chest out proudly.

"Bet you'd look good on me too." Yes. Because that was so much better.
