MYRAS
How much money you got?
FELLA
On me?
MYRAS
How much?
FELLA
Don’t you want to find out what’s wrong first?
MYRAS
I thought you wanted to find out what was wrong.
FELLA
Sure. That’s why I was so glad to find such a top-notch guy right up this old hill. I just thought that usually the first thing you want to know is what’s wrong.
MYRAS
No fella. The first thing I want to know is if you got a hundred dollar problem, but can only afford fifty dollars worth of answer.
FELLA
It’s just that traditionally . . .
MYRAS
Traditionally I like to get paid. Now how much money you got?
FELLA
Sixty-seven dollars and some change.
MYRAS
That’s it?
FELLA
In cash. I have credit cards. I have checks.
MYRAS
No help fella.
FELLA
You don’t accept checks or credit cards?
MYRAS
Cash only.
FELLA
That’s pretty remarkable. For a business today I mean. Do you realize how much business you’re losing?
MYRAS
How do you realize you lost something if you never had it?
