I’ll get it.” “So.” “So.” “Say something, then.” “I don’t know what to say. You say something.” “Ahh. Where to….” “...begin?” “Exactly.” “Yeah.” “ So? Is it definite?” “ Come on.” “ ‘Come on’, what?” “We can’t have this conversation again, can we? We’ve been over this again and again.” “Yes. I know…It’s just, you know…” “It is what it is, Dan.
