He sits up a little, staring. ]
I don't know if you've noticed, but that isn't as easy as it used to be.
So we try to make New Amsterdam work. I'm not saying we pack up right here and now.
[ But it wouldn't that hard--he doesn't think so, anyway. They've been making decent money. They have ID, they have references. That's more than they've shown up with in the past. ]
