to my shock and distress that worker was found dead the next day . what if instead of me trying to make a little bit of money on a sports bet , i came here and told you that you were going to be hit by a bus today ? one of his lawyer 's people is meeting us there in an hour . we just need to wait for him . `` you were in a battle , and you could have been killed . sorry about all that sitting-on-top-of-a-burning-lake-of-silver stuff .
