Everybody’s lookin’ for answers, I get that. And I certainly would love nothin’ more than to tell you what it is youse need to know, but my memory is real hazy right now, pal. Who knows, maybe $5,000 U.S dollars would help me recall? You hear what I’m sayin’?
Why $5,000? Well, it’s just the first number that came to mind—maybe it’s an association thing. Which means that once I have that $5,000, I might start remembering a little more, you know?
Workin’ here at the docks like I do, I don’t get a lotta time to sleep. Do ya know what that does to ya brain? Makes it all soft like cooked oatmeal. If I was able to take a couple of shifts off, get some real rest, I bet my memory would come back reeaaaaal quick.
Listen pal, I don’t know why youse pressin’ this far without givin’ me anything. I ain’t gonna be able to tell you zilch without my legal team of 50 Benjamin Franklins present, capiche?
What you’re askin’ is real premo dirt we’re talkin’ about here—don’t come cryin’ to me if this gets you in trouble, alright? You didn’t hear it from me.
If I don’t meet my target goal of $5,000 in a couple of days, it might just go up to $6,000, wise guy.
