Frances Applewhite:
Okay. Rick, I would like to discuss a raise.

Rick Kruger:
Ugh. This is not the time for raises, Frances. But just hang in there, okay? If we can crawl our way back to life, we can all make a lot of money here. You ever had a lot of money?

Frances Applewhite:
No.

Rick Kruger:
Well, it's real nice. I tell you what. I'll give you a taste. We're going on vacation. Or -- Or a trip anyway. We're going to Switzerland.

Frances Applewhite:
Wait. What?

Rick Kruger:
Yeah. Jonas the Wolf wants to see me there. Can't be good. So you're coming with me.

Frances Applewhite:
How long are we expected to be there?

Rick Kruger:
Uh, a week? However long it takes to put hot fire pokers up my ass or whatever they're gonna do to me.

Frances Applewhite:
And this -- It won't count as my vacation days?

Rick Kruger:
Damn it, no. You'll get paid. How many vacation days do you get anyway? 30?

Frances Applewhite:
Rick, I get 5!

Rick Kruger:
Ooh. Hire a lawyer.
