Duke: Good morning, Rusty Nail charters. Person: Yeah, Duke, this is Diaz. Where's the rest of my stuff? Duke: You didn't get it yet? We made the drop last night! Person: It was short, man, very short. Duke: Wait a minute, let me check the apple. What's your account number with us? Person: What are you talking about, man? Duke: Here it is. For future reference, your number TB 765085. Person: Are you crazy? You keep records? Duke: It facilitates billing, Diaz.
