Mr. Fitzgerald-I believe that is how he spells his name-seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.

The night you gave me my birthday party... you were a young Lieutenant and I was a fragrant phantom, wasn't I? And it was a radiant night, a night of soft conspiracy and the trees agreed that it was all going to be for the best.
