Stuffed (2006)
“The shirt was stiff and itchy and too tight around the neck. I didn’t know how anybody could wear a shirt and tie to work every day.
Oswald looked equally uncomfortable. His tie and jacket didn’t match and were too big. It looked like he’d borrowed them from his father. Julia looked relaxed—a bit distant, but relaxed. At first I thought she was mad at me because I’d dragged her and Oswald into the meeting with the lawyers. Then I found out that wasn’t it. She thought coming to this meeting, the whole idea of being threatened by a law firm, was actually quite cool. What was happening was that she and Oswald had had another “misunderstanding.” That was Julia-speak, which meant she wanted Oswald to do something or say something or think something or be something, and he’d objected. Good for Oswald.
I would have liked to be someplace else, almost any place other than in the law office of Smith and Evans. Thank goodness my parents were here to “represent” me. Julia and Oswald had come alon...g to “back me up”MoreLess
