Then Christian answered, “Listen, Tony, I was only giving Jungle Boy’s mom the chance to apologize to me for giving birth to Jungle Boy and she instead flipped me off. But here’s the thing: I think she’s really mad. I think she saw her knight in shining armor go off into the sunset. I think she’s a little sweet on Christian Cage, if you know what I mean.”
