# The Consent

PANEL 1 | Two lawyers at a table the length of the panel. Between them, one sheet of paper. Behind each of them, a filing cabinet the height of the room.

PANEL 2 | The sheet, close. Two lines, both in capitals. THE PARTY DOES NOT ADMIT WRONGDOING. THE PARTY ADMITS THE MARKETING MATERIALS CONTAINED INCOMPLETE INFORMATION.

PANEL 3 | The two lawyers shaking hands. Both are satisfied. Both are correct.

PANEL 4 | Outside, in the rain, the two banks who bought the thing stand holding a photocopy. One of them says: "It's true, though."
