"you must be pete's girl, i can tell because you seem very upper crust. there's probably a country club upstate with your name on it. " he holds his hand out to shake, his shirt sleeve extending a half inch past the cuff of his jacket.

"i'm michael. if you're lookin for anyone of any importance they're at lunch right now, and a wet one."

@kingcondi

"can i ask- what the hell are you supposed to be?"

shame, shame on michael for thinking he couldn't be surprised by a city anymore. he had thought riding the subway at 2am had inoculated him forever from being caught off guard by weirdos like this. "i wanna know how i should be reacting right now, tell me, because i'm drawing a blank, i got no fucking clue."

@bruisedpenny

"how can you be a dj if radio is dead? sorry if that's rude, but i don't know what's the point of your going to work if there's no audience anymore. unless you're getting paid well for doing nothing, in which case i'll apologize again and request an application."

he takes a breath to pace his train of thought, and hopefully it helps indicate a sense of sincerity too. "my work is going the way of the dinosaur also, no judgement. i personally don't think we should have evolved past the fax machine."

@jupiterfree

"how do you cope with it, being surrounded by all the britishness? i feel like my ears are gonna fall off, like i'm allergic to the sound of the accent. i have to say, i'm glad i'm freelance. no offense."

@jupiterfree, peggy said, "okay, well, that explains basically nothing"

"if that's what you think, don's really gonna hate it." michael groans, letting his face fall flat onto the stack of copy atop his desk. "one would assume cryptic and vague is better for a laxative ad that's gonna air in the middle of people's tv dinners, considering the meatloaf rectangle already starts out looking like shit." he lifts his head back up to meet peggy's eyes, some pen ink has transferred to his cheek.

"d'ya know if he's got enough cruelty in his heart to fire me on a friday?"
