Let's hear it from the top, every detail.

Ershon

I think the best way to tell this story is by starting at the end, briefly, then going back to the beginning; then periodically returning to the end, maybe giving different characters' perspectives throughout. Just to, you know, give it a bit of dynamism . Otherwise it's just sort of a linear story (makes yawning gesture)

Just tell us what happened!

Ershon

I lost a bunch of money for some people and now they want it back.

Excuse me, but you're under arrest, okay?

Ershon

What?

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say can be used, umm [to Hoitz] What's the next part?

As a floatation device.

As a floatation device. You know what? That's very funny. I've never Miranda-ed anyone before.

Really?

Ershon

Are you guys for real? Am I being Punk'd?

Who the hell are all these people? I was only expecting one man.

Ershon

You know, they're just some people I owe money to who wanted to be here.

Who are they?

Ershon

Well, they are some Chechen patriots, entrepreneurs. And the black chaps are some businessmen from Nigeria.

You owe money to the Nigerians and Chechens?

Ershon

Yes. Yes, I do.

You're a piece of work.

Ershon

Thank you.

Ershon

You could let me go, and i'll give you ten million dollars each. It's not a bribe.

Of course it's a bribe! You're offering to pay us money to not do our job.

Ershon
(shakes head)

Not a bribe.

Ershon

Hey, Douglas. How's the wife?

Douglas

She died.

Ershon

Attaboy!
