I beg your pardon. Sorry, it's much too wordy to go over again. Mr. Diamond, this is Fred Lane speaking. You once did a job for a friend of mine. Well, if your friend wants his money back, tell him I've already spent it.

But I think I can manage. Spoken like a true millionaire, Mr. Lane. I'll have a 1482 river sign. Please get here as soon as possible. Well, I'm pretty busy, but I'll try to. Please do, Mr. Diamond.

I'll have a check waiting. Mr. Lane, go to your front door. I'm there. People who promise to have checks waiting are people for whom Diamond loves to work. I went downstairs, picked up my car, and drove to the address on Riverside.
