Ben smiled and unveiled it with a flourish, “Let me show you my bazooka.”

“Oh!”  _______________  (fill in the blanks)

Her eyes widened, “It’s enormous!”
She wrinkled her nose, “Are you sure it’s going to do the job?”
She stifled a smile, “Well, it’s the thought that counts.”

Notwithstanding my bad writing (in the style of other parodies), questions remains ahead of the FOMC announcement. What will the Fed do? Will it be enough?
