Oldest line first — the newest line is at the bottom.

Sunday's going to be me in your dad's kitchen basically with a work-in-progress. I've been on my feet since eight and the invoice still says $1,240 owed, so I'm not at my best.
Penny teacher
Give me the invoice and I'll do the chasing call Monday, nine sharp, while you're still asleep. And say the working-in-progress bit to my dad out loud, because he'll like that better than a finished man.

I'm not going to argue with nine sharp. It was worse than I let on — Mr Fennel's invoice went out with the old logo on it and I only noticed at four. Handing you that is the actual plan.
Penny teacher
And what I need is that when I say I'm tired of carrying the plan, you don't just hand me the invoice and joke. Sunday, tell me the real thing about your dad, no hedge.
