让Harvey动心的男人

Mike在进酒店时，看到：1. bellhop （宾馆服务员）都带着白手套；2. 酒店泳池今天关闭（视频1’43″），
而当他走近房间时，1. 看到bellhop没有带白手套；2. bellhop说泳池正常开放； 3. 问时间时西装男露出了配枪。

但是，后面Harvey问他如何知道他们是警察，Mike回答是：I read this novel in elementary school, um, cops were staking out a hotel （监视酒店）. One of them dresses as a bellhop. The other is a man in a suit. And it was the exact same thing.

Mike的回答并没有提及“白手套”和“泳池关闭”，逻辑上存在一些瑕疵。

Uh, throw them off. I mean, what kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is when he’s got a briefcase full of pot, right?

throw them off – 障眼法；转移注意力; To misdirect someone away from the subject of their pursuit; to steer someone’s investigation or suspicions in the wrong direction. A noun or pronoun can be used between “throw” and “off.”

1. 与代理相关的民事责任需考虑的若干要素；
2. 股票期权回溯问题；

Mike这么聪明为什么不上法学院呢？很多人看到最后也不知道为什么。答案在此：
HARVEY: If you want this job so much, why didn’t you just go to law school?
MIKE: When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer. I needed some money and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it. Turns out we sold it to the dean’s daughter. I lost my scholarship, I got kicked out of school, I… (EXHALES DEEPLY) I got knocked into a different life. And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.

签约费；签约金；

Harvey听完Mike虎口脱险的故事后，说：We should hire you. Jesus, I’d give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
Mike帮Trevor运毒的报酬25grand，然后Harvey顺口说的签约费又是25grand，真巧！

Mike请Harvey打开这本书来考考他。
