Pete's sulkily eating something straight out of a serving bowl when Trudy arrives home and wonders what he's doing there. Pete tells her he got fired, which is a fairly pessimistic way of looking at a promotion, but then clarifies exactly what happened as best he can, considering he "couldn't even hear [Pryce]. All I saw was his froglike mouth flapping." Heh. Trudy is happy to hear at least that Pete didn't lose his temper, but when she continues to pepper him with questions, he sighs, "Stop it with the Ellery Queen." Hee. He then asserts his intention to call Duck, and I certainly don't see the problem there, but Trudy thinks it'd be better to wait and see how everything shakes out. Pete bitterly complains that Pryce basically said he cares too much about his clients and they notice it, and asks how that could be bad. Well, since you ask, it's just part of the whole wanting it too much image that doesn't seem to go with the SC Accounts philosophy. I mean, the only thing Roger's ever wanted that much is a robot waitress that will bring him a drink the second he knows he wants one. Trudy assures him that he holds all the cards, which makes me wonder if she recently got stuck in a freshly-painted elevator. I mean, seriously: Huh?
