Hey. You busy? Okay. Have you ever filed a patent before? I just got back from this meeting with Harvey, and he wants me to file this patent, but I have no idea what that paperwork looks like. So… You know, any help in this arena would be really… Did Harvey call you and tell you to do that?
If it isn’t the golden boy. You’re, uh, Harvey’s project, right? What’s your name?
Mike. Mike Ross.
Gregory Boone. So what are you doing here? Weren’t you signing some big deal this afternoon downtown?
Well, evidently, I haven’t earned the privilege yet.
You get the adult table speech?
Instead of watching the deal close, I get to file the patent.
Yeah, those suck.
Wait. You… You’ve done one of these before?
Like, a hundred. Why?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Oh. It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize. I took care of it. The patent claim? I negotiated a deal to get it done.
What are you talking about?
Gregory. He agreed to file it for me. And all I have to do is proof his Bainbridge briefs. Ah.
That explains why he said to give you this. And why he called you a sucker.
He called me a what, now?
Mike Ross, allow me to introduce the Bainbridge briefs.

Plus all this. Which means the next time you negotiate a deal, I would suggest you get your facts straight.
Ugh! I am a sucker.
Mmm-hmm.
