Do people in the US actually say words like "duress" in normal conversations? And "spidey sense"? God, Tommy, you're a very good script writer! Every word is so well chosen, along with little details such as the receptionist being a man (or a robot). Not only these things but the central premise of suing yourself for defamation is so funny, so hilarious, to begin with - and yet delivered in such deadpan tones by the two characters! I enjoyed it so much. You should make a short film of this legal duet!

This is so clever. Make it a one-act play. Or a short. Or part of a series of sketches about ......

But it has to evolve. Loved it. Should the client be a woman? Not sure.

This puddle of worms wiggles in so many of the directions we're confused by these days... agree with others here that the lake it's left from could easily be full length! Bravo!
