"Really, sir. Remember that I've been illegal my whole life." "So have I." Loo-Macklin thoughtfully regarded the ceiling of his office.

It's cleaner. I've never had much use for lawyers, nor accountants." "That's because you've always handled the illegal analogs yourself. I'm not slighting you, Basright.
