He goes to get Pussy a brochure, but stops to tell Pussy that he and Tommy Mack are going to hit up a truckload of Pokemon cards tonight. He asks if Pussy wants in. Pussy says that Chris doesn't want a fat fuck like him around. Pussy stands to go as Christopher says that Pussy just has to go in for five grand on the pharmaceutical company, and by the time they dump the company he'll be in six-figures. Pussy says no and starts to leave, but Christopher asks about the car. Pussy forgets, and then remembers. He says he'll keep Christopher posted on it. He practically runs out of there holding the wire, and Christopher sits and thinks.
