Pat McCracken, Johnny, Universal Adjustment Bureau.

Pat, haven't had an assignment from you in, uh, oh, several days.

Yes, I know.

Now, listen, this expense account of yours...

Huh?

On that case, you just finished.

Oh, now, listen, Pat, after all these years,

and I not only gave you a full report, but a itemized statement. I know. That expense account was completely legitimate from start to finish. Every single item was money out of my own pocket that they spent to solve that case. What case? The one you're talking about, the one I handled for you last week, whatever it was. You don't remember what it lost? Well, what difference does it make? All I'm saying is that whatever expenses I put down there were completely justified.

Do you remember what the total came to? I don't know the least idea. Then let me remind you. Oh, now, look, that's beside the point. You know exactly $12.30? Well, I tell you, every penny of it was $12?30? That's right. Now, do you blame me for thinking maybe you were sick or something?

Oh, no.

And I thought you were... and 30 cents that's right now do you blame me for thinking maybe you was sick or something

oh no and i thought you were okay pat arguments over only it isn't johnny not by a long shot

you mean you are going to question that expense account no i mean we never discussed a fee on that case

oh well the fact that you had a pretty

rough time of it no look got yourself killed well i persuaded the company to slap on an extra fee of 500 bucks

oh cat you are a doll and i had a sluggie instead i'll part taking on another one uh fee on this one too
