THOMSON PICKS UP CALL
THOMSON
"Yea Cashman, what's up?"
BRIAN
"Just wanted to let you know that we're still on for Friday morning!"
THOMSON
"So...let me guess, you looked around, you saw what was out there, and you are now admitting I was right, right...your not going to get any better deal than me...don't worry, I'll take care of you..."
BRIAN
"Yep, I have to admit...you are the man, the best deal in town, or for the whole west coast from what I can see...so you have your crew and everything ready?"
THOMSON
"Oh yea, couple of phone calls and everybody gets busy!"
BRIAN
"How many trucks you think your going to need?"
THOMSON
"No offence, but you are a small vineyard in the grand scheme of things...should be able to do it with two open-top reefers, load them up with a conveyor belt, should be finished up by five or so...you don't have anything to worry about..."
BRIAN
"So, you weigh this out before it gets on the truck?"
THOMSON
"We just count boxes usually, about fifty pounds each...but if it makes you feel any better, we can throw them on a scale, I'll bring one with me...just for you!"
BRIAN
"Yea, I'd like that, being the first harvest and everything...kind of like them raw numbers!"
THOMSON
"Alright Cashman, no problem I see, glad we're going to be able to work this out...good business, we'll probably be pulling in around seven, so I'll see you there, okay?"
BRIAN
"Sounds good, see ya then!"
PROMPTING END ON PHONE
BRIAN JUST SITS QUIETLY, TALKING TO HIMSELF IN A WHISPER
"Wonder if this is on the up and up...could this all be a mistake...oh no...no that guy from Columbus being promised all that supposedly overflow, it's all in the fix, John knows this scam too well!"
JOHN COMES INTO OFFICE
JOHN
"Hey boss, where's bossy boss?"
BRIAN
"Still in bed when I left...she stayed up all night writing her memoirs or something...either that or she was watching porn?"
JOHN
"She watches porn?"
BRIAN
"It was a joke, I was asleep, I just know she stayed up watching or doing something with her new laptop...give it time, she'll get burned out on it!"
JOHN
"Yea, laptop almost old-school, but I must admit to liking big keyboard...that tap, tap on glass too weird for me...hard to get use'd to!"
BRIAN
"Talk to Sandy, maybe she'll get you one from her rehab center..."
JOHN
"Maybe I do that, maybe I write great novel...so what's up?"
BRIAN
Called Thomson up and suckered up to his great deal...got him to agree to weigh boxes before putting them into truck, other than that, he said he'd have the crew there Friday morning at seven!"
JOHN
"What situation with your best Jesus friend, he going to make it here?"
BRIAN
"Yea, called my buddy up in Seattle, said he could pick him up at the Juarez freight terminal in Mexico City coming out of Bogota ..that dude's a real trip, get's paid real good, small tight syndicate, everybody gets taken care of all the way up the line, keeps his shipments below five-thousand keys, pulls into Seattle, no big whoop, takes a couple of days off, twice a week, pretty sweet gig...oh I'll be getting confirmation on the paperwork out of Belize tonight, it'll all fall together pretty quick!"
