"Peter, how's life? Thanks for doing that favor for me. What do I want in return? Don't worry, I'll collect someday. "

"Who's the boss collecting from, Beelzebub?"

"Some baseball bigshot in Baltimore. Mr. Applegate thinks he's going to collect on the Hardy Contract. You'd think he'd have forgotten after all this time."

"34 years?"

"If you're been a baseball fan in D.C., that's a lifetime."

"Bud! How are you, old friend? Look, I'm sorry about that whole strike, but all is forgiven. Do you know where I could wrangle opening day tickets to the Senators… I mean, the Nationals?"
