Sign, Initial
-You're sure, then? B and not A?
-Sure. Yes. B.
-Then, you sign here, and I initial
your signature as being from someone
I know.
-Done!
-Not quite. "The Statement of Intents and
Purposes." Mine. You must read it and
then...
-I already tried. It's incomprehensible.
-Lawyer-Language.
-I'll sign.
-No, just initial.
-Are we almost done?
-Yes! Believe it or not, though, I must ask you
once more as to B.
-I feel like saying "and may God have mercy
on my soul!"
-I too. We must be old-fashioned types.
Besides...it would be phrased: If there
is a God, would you like that apparent entity
to have mercy on your soul?
Both laugh.
-We mustn't laugh. Too serious.
-It's a bitter laugh. Fits all situations.
