or B they're found somewhere they said they weren't.

Goodmorning Jay Z Incorporated?

Mr Williams is in meeting right now,

may I take a message?

We create a false reality,

making people appear to be

where they're supposed to be.

Adams and Randalph.

Mr North? Let me check.

I'm sorry, your wife

just got on a conference call.

I will try it when she gets off.

Fifth precinct.

Sykes?

He's running files to central. Can I help you?

I can try him on his walkie if it's an emergency.

So you help men cheat on their wives?

And wives cheat on their husbands.

We're an equal opportunity employer.

You're a professional liar.

Lies are the great foundation

of our society, Lola.

'Great outfit, honey.'

'Can't I give you flowers for no reason?'

And my personal favorite,

'Don't worry, it happens to lots of guys.'

But that's just being polite.

Fact is your average relationship

wouldn't last two minutes

if people told the truth.

We just help maintain the illusion.

Mom's happy, Dad's happy

and the kids don't have to

pick sides at Christmas.

So this is all for the children, then?

Families don't break up because of infidelity,

Thank you.

They break up because someone get caught.

Let me guess,

You're just a hard-working child

of a broken home

trying to save others

from the pain you went through.

I just see people for the well dressed,

good smelling animals they are.

Mate, eat, sleep and mate some more,

preferably with someone else. Come on.

But you can't really believe that.

Not everyone operate

on a purely primal level.

A man is as faithful as his opportunities.

Take your old boss, for example.

Perfect example.

Yes, he cheated on his wife they broke up

They got back together

they never been happier

When was that, about a year ago?

Yeah, How did you know that?

He just bought us lunch.

Been a client since January.

Are you ready?

I'll let you know.

You dare defy your emperor!

Robert? Lobby, two minutes.

And you might want to

put the jacket on.

Morning?

You ever consider a more traditional line of work?

Insurance? Sales?

Making money's easy.

Keeping yourself interested

is something else entirely.

OK here's the situation.

In a few seconds,

an angry wife is going to

steaming through that door

and raise Mary hell till

she finds her cheating husband.

Inside this is

a cheap knock-off necklace.

You can be anyone you want to be

for the next five minutes.

I need two thousand a week,

benefits and a month off

plus all the regular holidays.

We tend to work holidays,

we've got great dental

and I can go as high as 1,500.

What's going on here, Ray?

- Hey how ya doing there?

- One second, vision?
