here guarantees your perpetual silence in this sensitive matter.

And you will note that this isnтАЩt a punishment-fits-the-crime situation, it is
bigger than that. And subtler.

We take large steps.

So. The thing. What you want from us?

You will get from us. ItтАЩs guaranteed.

ThatтАЩs kind of what IтАЩm afraid of. This isnтАЩt a big thing, itтАЩs a little thing. At
least I think it is.

BIG THING? Little thing? Rest assured, we tailor our services to fit the client. I
myself originated the program, I and my friend Serena. You think we started big? No
way. We started small. All the best things in this town start small, thatтАЩs the beauty
of L.A., you can come in on the rails and ride out in a white stretch with built-in
swimming pool.

We werenтАЩt always what you see before you. Plush Velvet Martinet
Enterprises. Not by a long stretch. Just two nice girls fresh from Fall River, move
west to make it in the biz; SerenaтАЩs an actress, and I...I thought I was writing the
script that would kill the world, mega-budget, mega-stars, pickup in ten figures. But
for the time being we were only clerks in BullocksтАЩ at the Beverly Center. Serena
made buyer, on her way to the top as a manager, and I was selling fucking bras while

Then things happened. Little things. Like a clerk in SerenaтАЩs department gets
jumped to department chief, and doesnтАЩt she feel shitty. So we deal with the
problem. After the accident, SerenaтАЩs promoted to section manager. Then a friend
has a knockdown dragout with a customer and you know how things are, word gets
around, and she comes to us. Serena and I deal with the problem, but by that time
we are both bored of BullockтАЩs and we set up a small office on Third Street, right
next to the bridal shop? You know the comer. And one thing leads to another.
Woman standing by the parking meter outside CelineтАЩs, fighting with a suit in
wraparound Raybans until the guyтАЩs car pulls up, the suit gets in the back and
zooms off and his girl is left standing there crying. Serena sidles out and next thing
she knows, bingo-bango, sheтАЩs in our office. As it turns out sheтАЩs a Mafia princess.
We were brilliant.

Because let me tell you, okay, the guy in the suit is a lying, two-timing bastard,
and if thereтАЩs one thing we here at R ...... Unlimited know, itтАЩs how to deal with
slimy, scum-sucking, two-timing bottom feeders that lie and take your...

But we were talking about you.
