(Monday morning, INT: office, Jamie is wearing a tie, Leonard Dresden enters with a briefcase.)
LD: Mister Halliganiv?
JH: Uh... it's Halligan, actually. Halligan the fourth.
LD: Right, right. Mind if I call you Ben?
JH: Ben was my granddad. You can call me Jamie.
--------------
LD (shaking hands): Right, Jamie. No problem, no problem. You can call me Leonard.
JH: Hi, Leonard. I don't mind telling you, I'm pretty nervous about all this. I'm not exactly in my element, here.
--------------
LD: Well, you don't have anything to worry about. I've already looked over your case extensively, spoken with the judge and the prosecution, and I can tell you right now that you're going to be okay.
JH: Oh, that's a relief.
--------------
LD: Yeah, Judge Worley is a big softie. With your guilty plea, he's agreed to sentence you to as little as five years minimum security.
JH: Alright, I can see we're going to have very different definitions of "okay".
