Connie: I just got a call from Ron’s agent. He’s in hot water again.

Walt: Not again! What did he get up to now?

Connie: He got into another fight outside of a bar, and he’s in police custody right now cooling his heels. I don’t know what he was thinking.

Walt: It’s the off-season, so I can understand him wanting to blow off some steam. But doesn’t he realize what he’s doing to his image and reputation?

Connie: They don’t call him the bad boy of basketball for nothing. I guess it’s our job to do some damage control.

Walt: Yeah, and fast. Once the press gets a hold of this, they’ll have a field day.

Connie: It’s going to be a long night.

Walt: Not as long as Ron’s.

Connie: Serves him right!
