Yep, shrift is clearly Theresa May. What the here were you thinking, shrift!?!
I'm thinking Gud is a Russian spy. The interest in tanks was a dead giveaway. A real slip up there, Gud.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gud, best wishes for your daughter's best friend. She may wish to look into how to file for a protective order against the boyfriend, even if she never has to use the information.
And if we're all going to be secret foreign officials, could I be the prime minister of Spain?

That was good of you, Gud.
Well, when I suggested coming along and my daughter agreed right away I knew I had to come along.
She may wish to look into how to file for a protective order against the boyfriend, even if she never has to use the information.
That is a very good idea.
Also, I am not now, nor have I ever been a spy working for the GRU.

I guess I can say this much about why yesterday was a bad day. I basically was laid off of a job during the on-boarding process.

Fortunately, I had delayed my start date, so I hadn't given notice yet.

Oh no, Gud! I'm so sorry.

Oh I am sorry to hear that, Gud. Transitions suck.

I'm so sorry, Gud.

I'm sorry, Gud. But I'm glad you hadn't given notice yet.

Yeah, that would have really sucked. Though I did arrange something else that's now a problem. That part I really can't talk about though.
I mean, you'd think you could at least get to your start date before getting laid off.
