Michael has heard a lot of different versions of ‘congratulations’ and ‘I’m impressed’ over the course of the week, but Wolfgang’s ‘wow’ is all he cares about now. It’s an honest ‘wow.’ There are no politics behind it. What Michael did was very cool. End of story.
“Thanks,” he says, which is something he doesn’t say a lot. It has a final feeling to it, and once he’s said it, he realizes he’s made the announcement he came to make and now has no idea what he’s here for. A few awkward moments are filled by him tugging on his jacket and looking around the room before he glances back at Wolfgang and says the first thing to come to mind.
“Let’s go somewhere, let’s celebrate. I just woke up, I feel great, it’s a nice night. Do you have hours here? There’s nothing posted outside.”
