“Widegger, you’re an OK outfielder, but you’re too naive.”

“What do you mean? I never renegotiated my contract, and my stats are above average.”

“You haven’t heard what they’re saying?  ‘You can catch more flies with money than with Widegger.’”

“What?” she asks me.

“Nothing.  Are you ready to go?”

“Aren’t you gonna do something about that window?”

“No.”

“What if it rains?”

“Then I’ll take a shower.”

“What if a bird flies in?  What then?”

“Lunch.”

“Funny.”

“Not for the bird.”
