No, I promise to stay out of the way this time. You've got the job, the one being paid. I'm just here as a friend.
[in complete adoration] I think it's wonderful that Lance cares for others. It's why everyone loves him.
Yeah, well we got snarled up in a case in August. I ended up doing ninety days on a county honor farm.
Well, I'm sorry about that Jim. I had my clients' interest to protect, and you did break into that hotel room.
What client? Who were you working for? Nobody ever seemed to know.
Well, that was kind of a strange one. Those three little boys hired me.
The triplets? They were only eight years old!
[humbly] Yeah well, when their folks were killed by the Mob I took them in. Finally I made arrangements for them to live on a friend's farm in Vermont.
[sarcastically] Oh, isn't that nice, a happy ending; all of us got to go to a farm!
