Hi Madhulk I would interpret the underlined words this way: nark on me give me away; inform someone about what I'm doing (someone who will want to stop me or who will punish me for doing it) lf you're working the fantasy angle-- To me, Lois is simply suggesting that Grant is imagining he can do something which he is not capable of doing. clash horns Yes, get in a fight or an argument. q=horns&r=66 ".

Yankeelf you're working the fantasy angle--Yeah, but those are not Lois' words. They're Grant's.
