Clear Instructions on Communication Protocol
Max
Yes, for expenses and such. Now, you'll be contacted on your pager as to where you should go. You each have been given an extra battery, so there is absolutely no excuse as to why a page would not be immediately returned. Am I making myself abundantly clear?
[midst of instructions for NY trip]
Bobby
Yeah.
Ricky
Yeah.
Max
You will not carry any other pagers with you. You will not carry anything, for that matter, that I have not just given you.
Ricky
Keys.
Max
What?
Ricky
What about my keys?
Max
You can carry your keys. You will not mention my name or imply that you are in my employ. You will not speak to anyone while you are working. When you are not working, you are considered to be on call and available twenty four hours a day. This means you will not get drunk or do anything that will prevent you from operating in a professional manner. There is already a number in your pager's memory. It is a car service. When they ask you what account, you will respond: Cardiff Giant. They will pick you up and take you anywhere you need to go. In other words, there is no reason why you should not reach any destination that you will be called upon to reach within fifteen minutes. Do you see a pattern forming?
Ricky
Yes.
Bobby
Yes.
Max
