"Changed your mind recently?"
"What's eating you out all of a sudden?"
"I don't play games. Neither does Blinky. He found out I'm getting the letters and I'm off the show. If there's any kind of trouble, he'll murder me with a lawsuit. So it's coming up to the clutch. Two days to Sunday. I'm in so deep, if anybody makes waves I'm dead. This is fun. Yak it up."
"I'm not laughing."
"If you've got anything besides immies to contribute, now's the time. Who wrote the letters?"
"Lay off, Jake. Don't badger me."
"You can't tell or you won't tell. Which is it?"
"I don't know. I can't remember."
"I think you're lying."
"That's a hell of a thing to say."
