-Marilyn, would you send Riley into my office?
–Riley Porter?
-Sure, Riley Porter…the one who writes all of the emails.
–Yes, that’s Riley Porter.
-Okay, well, send him in.
-Hi Riley, how are you?
-I’m good sir, good! How are you? How’s your wife? And the new baby- Jimmy! How’s Jimmy?
-Jerry’s fine Riley, have a seat. The reason I called you in today is your last email. All of your emails. But HERE I have your last email.

-Riley, don’t read that. Just read the circled part.
-…”as”…”usual.”
-In the future, Riley, that will suffice- just as it did when you were eight years old.
