[QUOTE="Karin, post: 66045, member: 57167"] At Barnes Oil, Jackie buzzed Cliff, “Cliff, Marilee Stone’s here to see you!” “Thanks Jackie, send her in and then you can go home,” Cliff said. “Thank you Cliff,” Jackie replied. Shortly thereafter Marilee walked in through the door of Cliff’s office. “So did he buy it?” Cliff asked impatiently. “Well hello to you too, Cliff!” “Sorry I’m just eager to hear how it went!” Marilee laughed, “You’re eager to cut your losses, that’s what it is!” “Yeah, yeah, but what did JR say?” “Well the saying goes that no one fools old JR but we did it!” Cliff’s facial expression brightened, “You mean he went for it?” Marilee held up a check and said, “Yes that worthless field is JR’s and here’s your money!” “Great,” Cliff grinned, as he took the check. But then he looked at the check and his expression changed as he went on, “Hey wait a minute, there’s 500 000 dollars missing from the amount!” “Yes of course,” Marilee replied. “That’s to cover my drilling costs!” “Oh right,” Cliff sighed. “I forgot.” Cliff walked over towards his drinking cabinet and poured two drinks. “Well I might be stuck with a losers deal but I ain’t gonna lose a dime on it!” “Of course not,” Cliff handed Marilee a drink. “So when will you start drilling?” “As soon as possible,” Marilee replied. “Good, because I can hardly wait until you do.
