I told Jane since she's no longer with us and I don't think Derek will happen this way again, especially since he'll be moving to L.A. soon. I told him that day of the copier, that he'll be going places as his attentions were on the copier and that the hockey game had lost its purpose. He asked me what I implied by that, and I told him of my desire to wedge his conscience and that he still is shy of the mark, he asked what mark? I told him that the game was the ploy I tried to use and that I realized ... at the very end that your closing arguments made it clear that there's a part of you that needs tweaking. You have a very high confidence level. The wedge, between the game and the copier, you have a knack for maneuvering your abilities based on optimum standards, thereby generating your preferred standards. You chose to ignore the game, whereto, you enlightened that fact in the end, and chose the copier increasing your odds. Now I have told you a method that can assure yourself a better you, which I have made that is my life purpose in the walk of life. Find your steps, Derek. The other boy works in housekeeping. He's an all-around good kid and a friend of Derek's and it's their days off. I don't work by the clock as a salary worker but I do have a corporate lead coming in that Saturday the night of the gala event.
