"We must stop meeting like this, Rich."
"No, we mustn't. We have seventy-four more meetings with similar agenda scheduled for thush year. I have to keep absolutely on track with what's happening in the latest latex design developments."
"Especially the tongue, eh?"
"Yes, Lawrence, especially the tongue. And as you know, there is only one way to test tongue viability."
"The problem, Rich..."
"Yus?"
"Every time you do that tongue-test thing, something else of mine gets tested as well. I can't sort of help it."
"I see. But how is that a problem, Lawrence?"
"Well, I guess it's not really a problem. But what with the vaseline-rubbing and the tongue-testing and all... After a bit, a man needs some relief. You know."
"I understand. And I see that it is the sort of dilemma that cannot be discussed in one of our project-development-evaluation meetings. But be assured, I do appreciate the hard work you have to do for this role and I feel for the predicament you find yourself in. "
"Oh, cut the bs for once, Rich."
"Lawrence: I will take personal responsibility for relieving you."
"Geez, mate. Does that mean what I think it means?"
"Just don't tell anyone else. Now let me start by testing that tongue of yours..."
