"Welcome to The Old Fashioned, the local spot for off-the-books biz. We’re neutral ground for folks from all walks - pink mohawks, black trenchcoats, mirrorshades, even corpo suits. If you've got money & intel to share, you've got a seat here. Can I get you another round?"

"Being a world-class fixer is about who you know: clients need discreet solutions, and crews want to see retirement. Then there's you, stuck in the middle with your rep on the line. Yeah, you're quitting the biz -- after one last job."
