A mental health worker of some sort gets shot while with a person with autism because some idiot rings the police about a gun. The man I would have thought was trying not only to not get shot but not get killed. Your translation of that is that the bloke is much more concerned about the money & rubbing their hands together.
I agree and that wasn't how I meant it to come out. All I am hearing is his lawyer talking about compensation. Seriously, it's about the money not the man he saved in the lawyers mind. The guy deserves all the credit for saving the other guy but the lawyer is an ambulance chaser that will kill any goodwill.
Cheers, makes more sense now. Mind you I'd be getting serious lawyers in if it were me too.
No, the serious ones are usually putting it on for show - what you want is the ones with the slight smirks.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I hear that there is an eminently qualified person for that job. They will have to wait until he comes off-contract and is unemployed - that will be about in November - but he'd be perfect for them. They should give him a call. His name is Donald Trump.

I reckon the dead and injured will be mostly black. Someone yelled out "Get Down" and they got up and danced.
