My hand is powdered, so the shake is firm and dry.
My clothes precisely walk the tightrope
between casual and relaxed formality.
Let me do the talking.
- Alright? - Okay.
Mr. Burley.
While I am aware that convention dictates that I should wait
for your assessment of our proposal...
please take my interruption less as rudeness than proof...
of our profound excitement at the opportunity to meet yourself...
and your fine company.
That's enough, that's enough.
We agreed that my colleague would do the speaking and rightly so for
while her language may be... salty, it has great economy and pith.
I don't care about any of that.
No, listen and learn, son.
Tea is a herb that's been dried out.
So to bring it back to life, you have to infuse it in boiling water.
That is boiling water.
Everywhere I've been in this country...
they slap down a cup of tepid nonsense...
you know with the teabag lying beside it...
which means I've got to go through the ridiculous business of dunking it
in the lukewarm piss...
waiting for the slightest change of color to occur.
And at my age I haven't got the time.
This is what I'm talking about.
