Meeting with Court Liaison Officer

Officer. As your Court Liaison I'll be looking at two things.

Your living environment. Daniel: It's more of a habitat, really. Officer. And I will be coming by on Monday and Friday

evenings to inspect it. Daniel: Well, I'll put on a chicken. He! He! Officer: And of course, there is the job issue. This is the nearest

employment office I have taken the liberty of making

an appointment for you. Daniel: Thank you.

Officer. By the way, do you have any special skills? Daniel: Yes, I do. I do voices. Officer: What do you mean, you do voices? Daniel: That I do voices... (Daniel imitates a variety of voices.)

I do a good impression of a hot-dog. Officer: Mr. Hillard, do you consider yourself humorous? Daniel: I used to. There was a time when I found myself

funny, but today you have proved me wrong. Thank

you. Listen, bottom line, I need to be with my

children, and I'll do anything to do that. You just tell

me what to do.
