President This also?
Elle Yes. Put this on.

Barillo Agent Ramirez, you have to follow certain rules.
Ramirez Oh, I’m retired. Rules don’t apply to me any more than they do to you.
Barillo Mr. Chambers.
Chambers Yes, sir?
Barillo Are you just going to stand there?
Chambers I’m afraid anything but standing’s going to cost you extra.
Barillo You leave me no choice.
Ramirez Hey.
