"No. Absolutely not! You tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less than one million!! Yes, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be making the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide the necessary support."
He went on playing himself, "Okay, tell the DA that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."
This, "conversation" went on for almost five minutes. All this time the man sat patiently and quite unperturbed as Joe rattled off instructions filled with endless legal jargon. Finally, Joe put down de phone and turn to de man, "I'm sorry for the delay but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"
