Min's ex-boyfriend, David, bets Cal, a business associate, that Cal cannot get Min to sleep with him. All hell breaks loose when Min overhears the part about the bet but not the part where Cal refuses to be a part of it. "Bet Me" is my favorite Crusie book. Cal and Min are a wonderful couple.

Unfortunately the only time Phin knows it's a quote is when it is also a quote from a book. Sophie "That's Johnny Depp. Who's Hunter S Thompson?" Phin " Author. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Great book. Who's Johnny Depp?" Sophie " Actor. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Mediocre movie."
