To: Lexus Girl
From: Fox
Re: temporal deixis and other matters
"This Saturday" and "two weeks from yesterday" are not the same day. And even supposing that a paint scuff will cost $1100 to fix -- a point I am by no means willing to accept without discussion -- it shouldn't take four days and require a rental car. Count on my insurance sticking up for me, you spoiled goddamn brat.

J: I'm sure you would, but no go.
SRB: I'll let you know.

SRB: Where's my money?
J: Where's the estimate?
SRB: You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
SRB's lawyer: In addition to the $1100 damage to his car, my client and his friend both sustained whiplash and are suing for medical expenses, pain and suffering.
J: Fine. Sort it out with my insurance company's lawyers.
J's insurance company's lawyers: SRB and his friend are liars. We are sending him a grand total of $129.
J: [happy dance]
