Lingo

TANNER
Sure they do. Hey, that’s the corporate lingo. The buzz they try to sell…

ELI
Exactly, Tanner. Exactly right. That’s the lingo. I’m not a professional.

TANNER
What?

ELI
No way. I’m a professional, sure. As in, I’m a pro at what I do. The dictionary definition of professional. That’s me. But not the lingo. Fuck the lingo, Tanner, fuck it.

TANNER
Right.

ELI
And I’m not all business. Like you said before. All business? That’s not me either. I am … personable. Get me?

TANNER
Sure.

ELI
I mean, I like to know about my business. All the angles, all the details, I want to know them. That’s why I think it’s good we know each other. We don’t know everything. You can’t ever know everything. Especially thoughts, the mind, you know? But we have a history.
