"Yes?"
"Jake, this is Melvin Grabinett."
"How are your associates?"
"What?"
"It's a question I've been wanting to ask you for years. Who the hell are your associates anyway? Helter and Skelter?"
"Are you drunk?"
"No. Unemployed."
"Listen, I'm in Tom Bleutcher's suite at The Brompton House. Been here the whole Almighty morning. Olga wants you to have lunch with us."
"Olga? Who she?"
"His daughter. You made a big hit with her last time they was in town. Come on down."
