Leverage, says you. I think I feel a change in the wind, says I.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker answers talk of leverage with a feeling that the wind is changing. The repeated 'says you' and 'says I' set two ways of describing the situation against each other. One reading hears a playful suggestion that circumstances may be shifting beyond a simple bargaining advantage.
