LEV ARRIS: I think I get the picture.
BILL MADDOX: No, I'm not religious myself. All you've got to do is go and pick the stuff up. Clever guy like you should be able to do that.
LEV ARRIS: Yeah, but how will I know how to find the place?
BILL MADDOX: Just land, and a friend of mine will have the stuff loaded for you.
