"And you’re Richard Norman Larson, Lone Star employee number 714-80-795, highly trained and experienced deep-cover operative, Milkwaukee Organized Crime (Gang) task force, indefinitely seconded to Seattle in 2052." Another pause, then Argent goes on, "Like I say, chummer, you’ve got real jam." (Is that a hint of admiration in his voice?) "No fragging brains, but real jam. It’s been a pleasure talking to you, omae."
