Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted by Miss Bitchface, I was going to say that during these trying times we must project a calm image of normalcy. So when I say PUBLIC, You say RELAY-SHUNS.

Now I'm taking my daughter..uh, I mean my assistant to lunch. Where did I put that office credit card?..and scene.
