As Raj and Pepper drift into a conversation about current events, you take the opportunity to catch up on some <span class="mu-s">PHONEAGE!</span> Whipping out your trusty device, you’re once more greeted by that ‘<span class="mu-s">MISSED CALL</span>’ notification from earlier along with a newer one telling you you’ve got <span class="mu-s">VOICEMAIL!</span> Neat!
‘<span class="mu-s">YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE! FIRST NEW MESSAGE:</span>’
‘<span class="mu-i">Eeeey killer, it’s EMILIO! Hope they didn’t dunk yer dumb ass overboard yet!</span>’
Heh, not yet!
‘<span class="mu-i">So here’s the deal, kiddo: youse got enough pie there ta’ choke a few gorillas-RECEIPT’S in da’ PACK, so don’t even think of losin’ it!</span>’
Oh shit, you stammer before fumbling with the backpack, where <span class="mu-i">IS</span> that damn thing…
‘<span class="mu-i">With all the fixin’s and tax and whatnot it comes down ta’ SIX-HUNDRED AN’ FIFTY-FIVE BUCKS. That’s countin’ da’ GARLIC BREAD an’ CINNATWISTS too!</span>’
Hell yes, they bought <span class="mu-s">CINNATWISTS!</span> Fishing out the <span class="mu-s">RECEIPT</span> from the bottom of the bag, you confirm the details on your end-yep, looks about right!
<span class="mu-i">We already talked it out on da’ phone-you deliver the goods to MINA HAUSER, ya’ got ‘dat? MINA HAUSER! If these jamokes tell ya’ they already paid, that someone else is gonna handle it, yada yada yada, you tell ‘em where ta’ stuff it-I spent way too long talkin’ to these morons for you ta’ get the ole’ switcheroo.</span>’
<span class="mu-s">MINA HAUSER,</span> you repeat to yourself, she was the daughter, right?
‘<span class="mu-i">And listen, kid: once you make da’ handoff do yourself a favor an’ try ta’ stay da’ night, yea? Tell ‘em… I dunno, tell ‘em ya’ gotta stay ta’ supervise… CLEANUP or somethin’. Kids’ll probably too sloshed ta’ care about dat’ by the end of the night… have their BUTLERS do it or somethin’... Madonn…</span>’
Man, life just keeps giving you INs, doesn’t it? Good ole <span class="mu-s">UNCLE EMILIO…</span>
‘<span class="mu-i">One more thing: don’t worry about comin’ in tomorrow, yea? I figure you’re gonna need a day ta’ recoup an’ whatnot. Just bring da’ PACK back and you can DRINK, SMOKE, FIGHT, and LOVE all ya’ want-I ain’t gonna tell your dad!</span>’
Hey, if he insists, right?
‘<span class="mu-i">Alright, dat’s it, kiddo. I gotta get ta’ cleanin’-do your ole’ uncle a favor an’ try not ta’ have TOO MUCH fun, yea? Talk later, Diesel.</span>’
‘<span class="mu-s">END OF MESSAGES!</span>’
Your uncle’s sign-off is punctuated by a dull beep. Satisfied for now, you’re just about to put your phone away when you see your bars… or lack thereof.
That explains why you didn’t hear his call… well, you yawn, stretching your arms over your head, they’ll probably have a signal extender on the island or something-no prob!
