Riddler Questions Palin; 2029, V5

[Bumstead]

Mr. Palin in his office at 2pm on Friday.

JP: Riddler, where are you? We have a meeting at 2pm every Friday!
<Riddler walks into Palin's office with a humored look on his face>
Dug: I don't think doing shots every Friday afternoon is considered a meeting.
JP: You are a dim bulb Riddler. It's called a "brain-storming" meeting for a reason. Sometimes you gotta loosen up a bit to get the ideas flowing.
Dug: Seems all that is really flowing is the Wild Turkey...
Dug: I got a question.
JP: Well, lucky for you I run a team where we all work together and all contributions are welcome. Lay it on me.
Dug: Right...Are you really shopping Jean-Luc Lecaze? I mean, I thought we had agreed that we wanted to build our team around him?
JP: We or you? I think you had agreed that we build our team around him, I think I might have my own plan. After all, I am the General Manager here Dug.
Dug: I thought we were a team where all contributions are welcome?
JP: Not stupid contributions Dug.
Dug: It's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. I have experience...
JP: Are you referring to that great job you did as GM of Madrid? Don't make me laugh. Madrid had a better record the year before when they didn't even have a General Manager...You can't be serious here. Experience...comical...
Dug: I don't know why I work for you.
JP: I imagine it's because I let you work for me Dug.
Dug: Like I can't find my own job.
JP: Look Dug, before you say something you are gonna regret, let's do another shot.
Dug: I just think Lecaze is 22 and already one of the best CF'ers in the BBA. He's a great fielder that hits for average and power. Plus he's fast.
JP: A veritable 5-tool player, eh Dug?
Dug: Exactly.
JP: You see Dug, that's why there's a rumor out there that I'm gonna trade him.
Dug: You mean it's not true?
JP: Let's put it this way Dug, I will let you know if I feel I need to; otherwise, I would suggest that you keep your eyes on your own paper.
Dug: What?
JP: Let's do another shot Dug. This Wild Turkey isn't going to drink itself.
Dug: But, what is my job?
JP: You are right Dug! Let's do 2 shots and then think about talking about it. Hey, I got an idea, after we do a few more shots and shoot the shit a little longer, let's go make targets of those gophers running around in our back lot. What say you?
Dug: You think that's a good idea?
JP: I think it will be in another hour after we clear up this little issue of there being too much whiskey in this bottle.
Dug: I don't know man.
JP: Shut up and drink Dug, shut up and drink...
