claude. here's to your new job down at the bank. i always knew you'd make something of yourself. i was hoping you were gonna say an engagement ring, claude. that's what respectable folks do. get a job, get married, start having babies. that's what you want, isn't it? but i'm having a good time. of course i did. he said he'd file an appeal right away. you didn't tell me he was so good looking. he seemed like a pretty good lawyer to me. his offices take up an entire floor of that big, new building on 125th street, and he was using all these words i never heard before. he even offered me a job. listen, claude, maynard wanted to know if he should file the appeal on behalf of your friend, too. sure, claude, whatever you say.
