Mr. Manager: “Could you call them and ask them to come in?” Satomi: (Taking out her cellphone.) “All right.” Satomi: (Lowering the phone.) “Chloe says she’s coming to kick you in the balls.” Mr. Manager: “Let me talk to her.” [Cut to Chloe, Gorou and Alphonse at a bar.] Chloe: “Mr. Manager, three months putting up with the guy’s bitch ass was plenty. What’s, like, one afternoon more or less?” Alphonse: “Tell him we already ordered the margaritas.” [Cut back to Mr. Manager.] Mr. Manager: “I don’t care how much you disliked him or how tanked you are, ERSTWHILE ATTENDANT is a co-worker of yours and deserves to be sent off respectably.” Mr. Manager: “Well, if you embarrass yourself out of drunkenness, it’s not my problem, is it? I’ll expect you in ten, Chloe.” [Time passes. The characters are now gathered in the office, displaying varying degrees of reluctance.] Mr. Manager: “Satomi, you worked with ERSTWHILE ATTENDANT the closest.

Well, okay…” Satomi: “If there’s one thing to be said about ERSTWHILE ATTENDANT, it’s… umm…” Mr. Manager: *Ahem* Satomi: “It’s that he was very… precise. He would always make sure he was clear what was expected of him. …By asking me repeatedly what he was supposed to—“ Mr. Manager: *Cough* Satomi: “Uh, but no one could deny his dedication…” Mr. Manager: *Hack* Satomi: “Hey! I wasn’t drifting!” Mr. Manager: “Sorry, allergies.”
