Bluff! (And bluff hard.)

I'm not much of a poker player. I think I played a few drunken hands in highschool. I once played Malvolio in a school play. This was the total extent to my training for this moment. I scrunched my face a little in disbelief and blew a "pfuuuh!" noise, that I really hoped wouldn't annoy her. "They are just going to hand you a small cheque."

You know when you start talking out of your behind, somehow the crud sometimes seems to flow on its own?

I kept flowing, "anyway! The lawyer would probably charge more than you are going to be paid!"

... and the Oscar for the writer, director, and lead actor in a one girl play goes to...

Somehow I managed to bring my improve show to a halt and resist the urge to grasp the air and say, "and scene!"
