"Get me someone that speaks Chinese!" - PTB

[55 Water Street, NY. Limousine screeches to a halt. Crush of bank executives lurch forward toward limo.]

Bankers: Sir! Sir!

Printer-That-Be: [Imp jumps out of limo holding stovepipe hat.] Get me China on the phone! Now!... Who can speak Chinese?

Gold & Silver are OK. [Mad-cap rush to elevator.]

I don't have time for Chad, France, nor Mali. $40 trillion in the basement can wait. We have an emergency!

It's the P's!... Who is charged with rigging them! Get me someone that speaks Chinese! I don't need charts. I need someone who speaks Chinese!
