Do you know they're charging a buck-fifty toll to drive across that wretched bridge? It's outrageous.

I didn't know that. I lost my car a few months ago.

Then count your blessings, brother. Every time I pay that toll, I have to scream.

I can't do that. If I started screaming, they'd lock me up and take away my kids.

Okay, but that's not the end of the world. Keep telling yourself that your turn will come. Look, can you sign this petty-cash voucher so I can get reimbursed for driving down here?

Okay.

And remember, be positive. That's the advice I'll leave with you.

Could you leave me any money?

Sure. Here's enough for a happy meal at that place over there. Be sure to share it with the wife and kids, will ya? And tell 'em it's on me.
