Go Jump in the Lake

Personal notice, dangerous my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Right full details. Standard oil company of California on behalf of independent chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the West invites you to let George do it.

Go jump in the lake, another adventure of George Valentine. Dear Mr. Valentine, or rather I should say dear Miss Brooks, Because if you're anything like I am, you open all your bosses letters. And now that you have it's really you that I'm writing to Miss Brooks.

I need your help to get Mr. Valentine's help. You see, I work for the same kind of a man you do. He likes trouble and so he's always in it. His name is Terence Doyle and he's Vice President of the Consolidated Machine Tool Company.

Of course you would never, never admit how desperately he needs help and right now. So please, Miss Brooks, bring that help quick. Otherwise, it won't be long until I'm taking dictation from a court. It's sincerely Miss Mona Chandler.

Let's try this one, Angel. Oh. I think you're in the wrong office. Excuse us. We were just looking for... She's talking to me down in the next floor. Employment's out at the planet. We're looking for Miss Mona Chandler.

She's a... she's an old friend of mine. Oh. Well, Miss Chandler's pretty busy this afternoon. I asked her to run through some financial statements. Oh sure, sure, we realize, but... You did, huh? That's right.

And she's out. Perhaps if you called later, you couldn't speak. Oh, so I'm a liar. We got back quick, Miss Chandler. Any reason? No, sir. He's not back yet. All right. Friends of yours. Mr. Valentine?
