Imp Patience: Catherwood, tell the I tunes copy of On The Road its closed captioning is cute but self defeating due to slowness so do not type out.
||||||||| Catherwood walks right past Imp Patience
Imp Patience: Catherwood, pay the bills for Captain Jeepers.

Imp Patience: Catherwood get Sirius and cancel the websites subscription for your writers sake.
||||||||| Catherwood gets sirius and cancel the websites subscription for his writers sake.
||||||||| Imp Patience says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Imp Patience exits at 4:43 AM.
