Look here, man.
Let your old man get you a drink to celebrate, okay?
That sound good to me.
I know, but the property will appraise way above value.
Yeah, uh, let's just move forward with the purchase.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
No problem at all.

All right, lemme see your phone.
Wow, you look amazing.
Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself.
Thank you.
So, how long have you been a real estate attorney?
Over 10 years now.
I see. So you always wanted to be an attorney?
Pretty much.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
Like when I was little, I used to take my stuff animals
and put them in a courtroom setting.
I would cross examine witnesses, everything.
You know, I would've loved to see.
I guess I've just always wanted to see the good
in everything and everyone,
and do my part to represent them,
no matter how big or small the case.
It just, it feels good to help others.
Sorry, your demeanor reminds me so much of my mothers.
Oh yeah, how so?
Well, for starters, she was also an attorney.
Hmm.
She was very funny and sweet. Everybody loved her.
I mean, she could light up any room.
You miss her? What happened to her?
We lost her to breast cancer
my sophomore year in high school.
I joined the military just get away from it all
and be focused on life, you know?
I'm sorry to hear.
But hey, enough of that. So, tell me, why are you single?
Well, I was in a relationship for five years.
I thought he was the one.
Sorry to hear that, sorta.
What do you mean by sorta?
Sounds like his loss is now my gain.
We'll see.
Why are you single?
I just haven't found the right one yet.
And where did that come from?
Grappling on the barbed wire during boot camp.
Ouch.
It's okay, it was a long time ago.
