Red, the scene from the courtroom:
WSP Attorney Perry Mason: Your Honor, we call Mr. John Paquet to the stand.
Bailiff: Mr. John Paquet to the stand.
Perry: Please state your name and occupation.
JP: I am the Mr. John Paquet, currently unemployed, but I am also very fine newsletter writer, but no one pays me, yet.
Perry: Mr. Paquet, were you recently employed by Aber?
JP: Yes.
Perry: In what capacity?
JP: I was VP finance, but now I am produce best newsletter, much better than that phoney Sudir man.
Judge: Mr. Pauqet, please just answer the question.
Perry: You were just dismissed from Aber, were you not?
JP: Well, yes.
Perry: And why was it you were dismissed?
JP: Well, this is long story. You see this Aber company is just penny stock spec play, not important enough for Mr. John Paquet to spend too much time. Real job is making big, big money at this day-trading of penny stocks.
Judge: Just answer the question Mr. Paquet or I will hold you in contempt!
JP: Yes, well said. I will do as you say. Mr. Paquet does his learning here in this court classroom. I was paid as VP finance, but made only small mistake, no reason to be fired over.
Perry: And the REASON was?
JP: Mr. Paquet failed to send stupid piece of paper to WSP to say my company Aber will do this Spring drilling program and pay the money. No reason for WSP to steal our share of Snap Lake.
Perry: So you were fired because you made a mistake?
JP: Yes
Perry: And although you thought it was not a big mistake, your employer thought it was big, so big that a high level employee was fired over it?
JP: Yes, they thought it was big, huge mistake.
Perry: No further questions, your honor.
