"This is great."
"I told ya!"
"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."

"So I was talking to Danny and he said the statue of limitations is ninety days."
"Ninety days, huh? He got it wrong."
"Good, so there is no statue of limitations, then."
"No there is one. It's just sixty days."
"I guess...that's better. What I don't understand is why is the statue of limitations longer than the waiting period to get a handgun."
"You're a General in the Air Force. When have you ever waited for a handgun?"
"Exactly. So why do I have to wait-"
"Sixty days, Sir. Well, fifty-four now."
"Wait, you're counting from the funeral, not from breaking up with Pete?"
"My rules."
"Fine. It's just that in fifty-four days, you'll be at Area 51."
"Yes, and you will be in DC."
"No I won't."
"Sir?"
"In fifty-four days, I'll be at Area 51 too."
"I can live with that."
"Good, because plan B involved kidnapping you and dragging you to DC."
"I can live with that too."
