The New Thing in the Old Thing
Contractor
-We wrote the contract for the government
-So that we'd get it?
-What else? But there were other bidders
-Where'd you dredge them up?
-From where such are dredged? At any rate...
-We tip them, like waiters.
-Now let's do the job, and in the proper time!
-What's the job?
-The usual shit.
-And the timeframe?
-We fuck that dog out the door and down the street.
-So, miss the deadline?
-We’ll negotiate a new one. After all, a whole bunch
of unexpected challenges bound to come up!
-And expensive ones. More shit!
-O ye of little faith!
-I...don't understand where my tragic, tragic lack
would come from.
-I’m buying yours, and mine, for a cool mil each.
Bonuses making up most, of course
-It is right and just so to do.
