Mr. Applegate : Have a nice trip?
Lola : Perfect. The plane crashed in Cleveland.
Mr. Applegate : Good. Now about that job in Chicago.
Lola : Just dandy. I got the old boy to embezzle 100,000 dollars and lost it for him at the race track. Then his wife left him and he took to drink. I told him I was through and he jumped out the window... twenty second story.
Mr. Applegate : That's high enough, that's fine.
Lola : I wanna try the Empire State Building on this next one.
