Transcript:
Man: Jeffrey! Stan Flagg! I run human assets for Overkill Systems! Come on in! Jeff: Thank you, sir. Man: So first of all, let me get you squared away about our culture here. When we're not on mission, we dress appropriately. Jeff: You do? Man: On or off the field, we present as total professionals! Mr. Overkill insists on it! Think you'd have a problem with that, Jeffrey? Jeff: No, sir! Man: Okay, second, we'd need you in much better shape. Jeff: Oh... uh, yes, sir. I've just bee busy.

Um ⊠didnât Havoc make any kind of report (official or otherwise) to anyone concerning Jeffâs escapades in Afghanistan? That Jeff got this far is an indication Overkill Systems donât check their applicants very closely. Of course Jeff is way too dumb to realize that any spook org willing to have him is one he really shouldnât be with.

Oh yeah? Or maybe any spook organization thatâs willing to have him deserves him.

Actually, this surely looks like the Red Rascal is about to get hired for the kind of job you really donât want to take.
The âassetsâ involved tend to become âdisposableââŠLetâs see if he gets tagged as a shield or ends up as an arranged âincidentââŠ

Gods, it is to laugh.

I wonder if Mr. Flagg is one of Col. Flaggâs kids? They seem to share a bond.

âHuman assetsâ? In Jeffâs case it should be spelled âassettes,â as in the diminutive form ofâŠ

In my hometown in Georgia, we had a pharmacist by the name of Strange. His sign readâStrange Drugsâ.

Jeff dosenât have to take this. Flagg is sounding more and more like Larry Summers. The Rascal ought to channel his inner âCornel Westâ and take his business to the other guys.
