If your guy doesn't hand over my guy's poetry, we're going to take him to the cleaners. And to prison. - MGF. (Michael Gabriel Fredersdorf.)
My guy says that after all the time he spent editing that poetry into a readable form, it's his poetry as well. Of course, a deal could be made. - CGV. (Charles-Guy de Valory.) P.S. Look, Mike, I'm a reasonable guy. These two aren't good for each other. Let's get this over with as painlessly and quickly as possible, okay? I'm willing to do my bit if you do yours.
Handing over my guy's poetry should be painless unless he resists arrest. - MGF
WTF, Mike? Frankfurt isn't even Prussian territory! Do you want an international incident? What the hell has gotten into you? - CGV. P.S. Now we're going to demand complete compensation for any damaged goods and for my client's psychological distress. And my client's niece is going to sue your man for sexual molestation.
Charles, I admit we've gone a bit over the top, but you've got to understand my situation here. Himself has been hell t o live with ever since your guy did his level best to put him into that mood. I just want it to be over. Now,we have the poetry back, which was the main issue. As for Madame Denis suing, I wouldn't advise it. For starters, there's still the matter of that anonymous blog post making all kinds of damaging and privacy invading claims about my guy's sex life. We can trace IDs, you know. - MGF
To think I always thought you were the nice one. Fine. You want to talk about hard work situations? Imaging having to represent someone who can make verbal mincemeat ouf you in front of a mass audience at the drop of a hat. - CGV.
I don't have to imagine. - MGF. P.S. Nice people don't last a minute in any one of my jobs. P.P.S. I don't believe this. Does your guy actually have the audacity of claiming royalties from the ongoing performances of his works at the Prussian court?
That's not audacity, Mike, that's international copyright. My guy knows it by heart. Can't say I disagree with him there. - CGV. P.S. Of course, if your guy would just stop staging my guy's works for a while, we'd have no problem.
WTF, Charles? When your guy started here, I made him sign a non-disclosure agreement, and now he's not even posting his trashing of my guy anonymously anymore? If you want to talk international law, we have an extradition agreement with your government in cases of attempted regicide. - MGF.
Attempted what? - CGV.
My guy's feelings were wounded to the core. He'll never recover from this. - MGF.
Is that why my guy got a letter from him today? Seriously, Mike, I thought you knew better than letting him put anything on paper at this point. You haven't exactly given me reason to treat you gently if I get my hands on anything incriminatory. - CGV.
Charles - I'm taking a leave of absence in order to marry. Any further correspondance regarding the matter of V. may be adressed to WMB. - MGF
Dear Charles, I magine MGF has notified you I'm now representing my brother in this whole sorry matter. Look, what this situation needs are adults. You don't want having to represent dear V. for the rest of eternity, you want everything settled decently, am I right? Then let's do that. And please, do tell your client he's welcome to have lunch with me if he passes through. - WMB
I'm all for adulthood, especially if it takes this matter off my hands. Though I would have to advise my guy to stay far away from anything resembling Prussia-friendly territory for the immediate future.Given I'd also advise him not to return to France after all he's said about our government, that admittedly leaves him with limited options. BTW, did Mike seriously marry? Mike?!? And was your brother okay with this? Enquiring minds want to know - CGV.
Excellent. Here's what I propose: no visitation rights for either party, but unlimited correspondance as couple therapy. And no more financial exchanges of any kind. Trust me, this will work. - WMB. P.S. No comment on the marriage, which did take place. Mind you, it might just work: Mike seriously was in need of a holiday.
