 He knows the price of everything

And values nothing.

Bug out.

 Worms are not insects, but he is repellent.

Something is bugging her.

Progress isn't what it used to be.

 The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Ah, yes, they remember it well.

The Undecideds.

 It takes only a few to pull down the average.

Depending on the sample size.

The Right Stuff.

 Compatibility is very important. Beat of the same drummer.

March lock step,  as in a chain gang.

Hustle in your bustle.

 A little excitement is the missing ingredient.

Couldn't be better, in other words.

Conflicting interests.

 Extenuating circumstances or circumvention?

Orders are orders.

Magritte strikes again.

 It's the Picture of Dorian Pillsbury.

Just his two-cents worth.

Ars gratia artis.

 They do say that art reveals character.

And he's a character.

Upfront costs.

 Suspiciously honest. That's how the confidence game works.

Believe you me.

Smow on the roof.

 Indulge me, if it's not too much trouble.

Or humor me if it is.

Struggling to adjust.

 Some people are never happy unless they are unhappy.

We're all losers in the end.

Up close and personal.

 'Tis a far, far better thing she does.

Not the guillotine, but still noble.

Playing Post Office.

 The ghost of Benjamin Franklin is out for vengeance.

The original cancel culture.

Charmed, I'm sure.

 Does that make her one of the Charmed Ones?

It worked with the cat.

Go along.

Get along, little doggie.  How long?

The Bartender asks.

A la torte.

 Makes them hungry for more.

Go to torte.

The standing committee.

 You are either part of the solution or part of the problem.

Move out of the way.

A boy and his dog.

Don't put words in his mouth.

Speak.

Anticipation.

 Not at all predictable in his habits.

On autopilot.

Use-by dated.

 As a class they have a limited shelf life.

Some future convicts as well.

You're no fun anymore.

 You don't know what you've got...

Until it's gone.

Ancient history.

There are known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

None worth mentioning.

Promises made, promises kept.

 A man of his weaseling word.

A big buildup.

See you in court.

 Justice delayed is justice denied.

That's only the suggested speed.

Robbing the cradle.

 Just call her Baby Face. In order of importance.

Nice save.

There's a pill for that.

With the right dosage, you no longer care.

The Blue Pill or the Red Pill.

Solitary confinement.

 The girl in the glass booth.

 Inspired by the play by Robert Shaw.

Shilly-shally.

 Where's there's a will, there's a probate lawyer.

 

You can bank on his principals.

Signature required.

 The oldest form of the absentee ballot.

And the most powerful.
