We have to make HER happy or we're both screwed (let's pretend you can't shoot escrow officers in my imaginary world that I'm making up for this example).In real life with real estate escrow officers, sometimes they end up looking like the bad guy because they hold everyone accountable to the contract and want everything in writing.

Or just trying to pretend they didn’t know anybody from Detroit
