...farcical. The Caribbean Connection's two henchmen are truly terrifying, especially the sinister aviator-man only says sentences beginning with "I don't like...." Yet their predilection for popping up in unlikely places becomes unbelievable the fourth or fifth time around. Likewise, Hawkins' ready acceptance of Jules as companion and confidant seems incredible, considering her "I vant to be alone" aura...
...star. In a 234-page deposition, parts of which have been made public in other court papers, Morgan says that she and Bloomingdale became intimate at their third meeting, supposedly in an encounter that also involved two other women.
