| {{a|risk|}}No. It’s still too soon. But no better a reminder of the [[really important client]] paradox. The one that [[The CEO wants this to happen|the CEO really wants to happen]]? It is time for one of our little dramatic vignettes, readers. | | {{a|risk|}}No. It’s still too soon. |

| {{Quote|''Three years pass. Suddenly, a large explosion offstage. Alarum within. Enter [[Hank|HANK]], [[Chip|CHIP]], [[Chuck|CHUCK]], with Attendants, encountering a bleeding [[Chief Risk Officer]], lying near the billowing wreckage of a prime brokerage business.''<br>
| |
| | |
| HANK: “Oh, brave Chief Risk Officer! You shall not have died in vain!” <br>
| |
| CHIP ''(kneeing over the stricken officer)'': “Sir! He’s not dead!” <br>
| |
| HANK: “Oh, brave, brave risk manager! Mortally wounded by this calumny of no-one’s doing —” <br>
| |
| CHIEF RISK OFFICER: ''(sitting up, weakly)'': “As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a bit better now. I ... think —” <br>
| |
| | |
| ''HANK nods discreetly to CHUCK, who whips out a dagger and slides it between CHIEF RISK OFFICER’s ribs. CHIEF RISK OFFICER groans and falls back, lifeless.''<br>
| |
| | |
| HANK: “Oh, brave Chief Risk Officer who, when it seemed he was about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him: you shall not have died in vain. You died to pay for our sins, that we might be forgiven by our institutional shareholders.” <br>
| |
| CHIP: “I say, steady on old man: let’s not get carried away with the religious allegories shall we?”}}
