Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?

Who is this

This is Erica from the dentist’s office. I got your number from your file

I’m not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”

      I am just imagining him bored waiting for them to come back and he is like “fuck this, I am taking this shit, make this wait worth my while” and then just pulls out a tool belt and starts unbolting the thing from the wall.

        Yes sometimes the doctors really do make us wait a long time and we are just sitting there with nothing to do, I look around at all the things on the walls but I just sit there frozen because I know any moment they will walk in and catch me doing whatever it is I’m doing.
