[Chase]

I'm definitely taking this kid.

 

[Eugene]

But that's just my thoroughly unprofessional opinion. Deric might have a different perspective.

 

[Chase]

Not sure if I owe my friend a courtesy call, though.

 

[Eugene]

I'd say have Friend talk to the kid first, so he understands kid's ambitions, than you two have your courtesy call.

 

[Chase]

I know this friend's going to be disappointed I didn't tell him the minute I saw this kid come interview. That said, though, maybe it's a decent test of 'friendship'.

 

[Chase]

Would probably be a lot easier if the window of his condo doesn't point directly to the window of my apartment...

 

[Eugene]

Yes, it's always disappointing to lose talent, but I don't think it's grounds for ending a friendship.

 

[Eugene]

...

 

[Chase]

Yeah, turns out Berlin is still a small town.

 

[Eugene]

Right...

 

[Eugene]

What I was getting at was if I begrudged every team lead who poached talent from me, I would have lost friends quick.

 

[Chase]

True, and this kid came to me, I didn't poach him. Ethically, we're solid.
