Tom: Just your basic assistant stuff. Taking messages, wake-up calls, bottle service at The Snakehole Lounge, condom runs, covering for me at any legally dicey situations.
Pete: I'm sorry. What do I get out of this?
Tom: Connections. Plus 19 grand a year, minus my 10% headhunters' fee.
Pete: I have to pay you two grand if I get hired?
Tom: I have a job to offer. In the immortal words of Rod Blagojevich, "It's a [beep] valuable thing. You just don't give it away for nothing."
