Sly

He came over for dinner last night. He is alive and well.

Sully

But not responding. So that’s rude.

Enzo

Hopefully he left the chat.

Sully

Clearly, you have no idea how phones work.

Sully

You can’t just leave a chat. Not when there are different brands of phones in the message. Looking at you, Nixon.

Sully

A whole new chat would need to be created, so he’s still in this one.

Nixon

Not all of us can afford fancy upgrades every time one releases.

Enzo

So, just ignoring you then, like I wish I could. I hate to say I’m jealous of a Paladino, but here we are.

Sly

So we are meeting tonight at seven. Where? Sully’s? The tarmac?

Sully

I’ll just have my driver pick everyone up, and we can go together.

Nixon

We never did discuss logistics. Do I need to book a flight or something? Hotel room?

Sully

Aww, he’s adorable.

Enzo

Sly, I still don’t understand why your stray had to follow you back home. Surely he was just fine in that hole he lived in back in California, no?

Sly

Nixon, Sully owns a jet. We will fly privately. As for lodgings, though, Sullivan, what is the plan?

Sully

I already booked us a suite downtown, don’t worry. It’s on me, Nixy.
