1--They say he has started fifteen big fires.

2--He's been in jail three times already.

2--I don't know. Sometimes the law doesn't make sense.

1--But his latest fire killed someone.

2--This time they have charged him with murder.

1--So maybe he'll go to jail forever?

2--I sure hope so.

1--Someone should set him on fire.
