City of Spies

"Okay but. Was it a lawyer who specializes in Lamar law or was it a lama in a suit and tie who carries a little brief case?"

"You're focusing on the wrong details here. The point is, you need a goose lawyer to get you out of paying child support to your estranged goose wife."

"Lily, sweetheart, I've watched you survive worse ideas than this, so chin up and carry on causing chaos."

She gives her a look. "You make this sound like it's a bad idea. How could this be a bad idea? Or are you just jealous cause I have more game than you?"

"..... Because I need a dumb woman?" The question was confusing. "Do you not have dumb secretaries?" Foolish, someone had to sort out his states' hiring processes

"First of all," said Katharina, "clerks can be of any gender. Secondly, they are not stupid. Again, I ask, why are you being so derogatory."

"Lama lawyer?" Matthew couldn't help but laugh at that.

She gave him a confused look, as if his laughter made no sense at all. "Yes, of course, a llama lawyer. Whom else would I get in a paternity case for a llama?"

"The kind of place that sells good beers," he said plainly as he started walking again

"And what? You're not going to share this magical place with me?"

She put her hand on his shoulder. "It happens to the best of us. Even I was a father once. But then I met a good llama lawyer and that took care of that."

"my current secretary is quitting to be a stay at home monther," he explained. "So I need a new one"

"You didn't answer the question," said Katharina as she pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose. "We asked you what you meant by, 'dumb women.' Why are you being so derogatory?"

"give my wallet back, you have enough"

She pulled out a wad of cash and one of his cards and then tossed his wallet back to him. "There. That thing is ugly anyways. Wouldn't be caught dead with it."
