Listen, you know that statue on your mantle, the one with the blue lady? " He pauses and turns and shouts at the other three by the coffee table. "Will you shut up" he shouts. He continues talking into the phone. "Yeah, you don't want to talk about it over the phone? You don't want Rava to hear? ... Yeah, I understand... You know that coffee shop near my house, Monk's?.. Alright, tomorrow. One o' clock. Great, okay, bye." He hangs up the phone.
