    “But you DID take the money, right?”
    >“I hardly see how that’s relevant. What’s a gift between friends?”
    “…So you’re saying he’s an old friend? AND he paid you?”
    >“Look, it was a gift, we went to school together, he helped get me my first job out of-”
    “So you help each other out?”
    >“This interview is OVER. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers.”
