Paula is a paralegal and is reviewing the following transcript of Larry Lawyer's conversation with Clara, a potential client:
Larry: Hello, Clara. How can I help you today?
Clara: Well, I was in an automobile accident yesterday and want to see if I can sue the driver of the black SUV.
Larry: OK. Tell me about the accident.
Clara: I was driving down Main Street in my brand new Ford truck-near the entrance to the Hollywood Shopping Center-and this idiot in a blue cowboy hat driving a black SUV pulled out of the parking lot without stopping. I slammed on the brakes, but couldn't avoid hitting the SUV. You know, that crazy hick had on blue cowboy boots that matched his hat and a turquoise belt buckle that matched his turquoise ring.
Larry: What happened then?
Clara: Well, after he climbed out of the passenger side door, he started yelling at me and wanted to know why I had hit his SUV. Then he said he would be late for an acting job at Silver Screen Studios and blamed me for that too. Like I really cared-I was going to miss the sale at Saks.
