That's one vital skill that you have and the rest of us -- don't. I mean! I could learn if you want to share it! But I'll be honest, I didn't even think about the papers until we all got back. And Mr. Ivan seems like he's more of a cowboy lawyer, he's going to do what needs done and no paperwork's going to get in his way.

If it's not Fixer stuff, why are you doing it?
[ those certainly are a lot of facts Tandy has just laid out. and they knew them, they knew them already, but those certainly are... a lot of facts. ]

Is that a responsibility you like or are we just piling more pressure on by leaving it to you, though?
[They get a chair and pull it up to the desk.]
