Say, Shep, how ya doin' there? Say, uh, ya know those two fellas ya put me in touch with up there in Fargo?

Put you in touch with Grimsrud.

Yah, well, he had a buddy there. He, um...

I didn't vouch for him.

Well, that's okay.

I vouch for Grimsrud. Who's his buddy?

Uh, Carl somethin'?

Never heard of him. Don't vouch for him.

Well, that's okay, he's a buddy of the guy ya vouched for, so I'm not worryin'. I just, I was wondering, see, I gotta get in touch with 'em for. See this deal I've been working on, I might not need it anymore, sumpn's happenin', see.

Call 'em up.

Yah, well, see, I did that, and I haven't been able to get 'em, so I thought you maybe'd know an alternate number or what have you.

Nope.

[optimistic]

Okay! Well, real good, then.
