I'm sorry. It wasn't a joke that was in very good taste. What is your job, if you don't mind me asking.

[Okay, yeah, Vince was right about this place. BUT WILL HOWARD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT? Never.]

There you are, Vince! Look, ya gotta hide me. They're gonna send me off to be re-educated! --Whatever that means around here.

[Hasn't quite equated it with droning yet. Ah well.]

Alright, I'll hide you. Don't know how much help I'll be, though, considerin' I'm gonna be killed in [checks invisible watch] oh, today, actually.

Well, aren't you casual about it!

At least I'm not resigned to my fate, like you. They won't take me without a fight!
