Business friends

I have only known this amazing, amazing man and his unique daughter

for a few months

I don't even know how many,

I'd have to check my pay stubs

But, as my guru Otho always says

[DELIA]

Day-O

[MAXIE, spoken]

What?

[LYDIA, spoken]

What's goin' on, Delia? Are you alright?

[DELIA, spoken]

Um, haha, uh

I am so sorry, I don't— I don't know what just happened

I meant to say—

[DELIA]

Me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say Day-O

[CHARLES, spoken]
