Two questions as one or one question as two
“Oh, what’re you gonna do? Throw us out of here in the middle of the homily,” says Jesse.
Is that right, or should there be another question mark after "homily," instead of a comma? Or, maybe better still, should both parts be combined into one sentence like so?:
"Oh, what're you gonna do, throw us out of here in the middle of the homily?" says Jesse.
Thanks.
