IT’S A MOVIE.

Count me out for the trip, I have too much happening at work right now to leave.

Sully

Lame. What happened today?

Let’s just say someone walked into my office who I never expected to see.

Sully

You’re really going to vaguebook us like that?

Sly

You do realize there are laws prohibiting him from speaking about clients, right?

Brother-in-law for the win.

Sully

Do you know who it was? You sound like you know who it was.

Over my dead body will I tell Sully who came into my office today. Not only because I am legally bound to keep my mouth shut, but because I know she needs discretion.

And I wouldn’t do that to her.

Attorney-client privilege.

Sly

No idea, but I do know he cannot reveal information about clients, just as I cannot reveal information about patients.

Sully

Okay, but male or female? At least give me that so I can draw my own conclusions.

Nixon

That feels like a trap. I’d proceed with caution.

I’m not sure why it matters, but I’ll humor you. Female.

I only work with females, you idiot.

Sly

You shouldn’t have said that. Now he’ll never leave you alone with all of his theories as to why your client rattled you.

I never said they rattled me. I said they surprised me.

Sully

You said they sent you into a tailspin. So I’m guessing it's someone you want to fuck.

Sly

I told you. You made a mistake.
