Everything's under control.

- I could run this store in my sleep.

- I know.

How long you been

workin' for me, Auggie?

I don't know. Thirteen, fourteen years.

Something like that.

Kinda crazy, don't you think?

I mean, uh...

a smart guy like you, what do you want

to hold onto a dead-end job like this for?

I don't know.
