What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBloomberg reports Malaysia got a vow from Myanmar on refugees, but still does not recognize the regime. Joining us is an anonymous central bank official.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir or madam, you are in a parking garage. Why are we speaking to you from level three?

  3. Anonymous OfficialBecause the lobby has ears, Gloria. Also the lobby has a ficus, and I do not trust it. Keep your voice down.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUnderstood. Malaysia says it got a promise on refugees but will not recognize the regime. Is that diplomacy or a loophole?

  5. Anonymous OfficialIt is a handshake with oven mitts on. You hold the hand, you do not admit you are touching it.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have worn oven mitts to three embassies. Two of them asked me to leave. What does a central banker care?

  7. Anonymous OfficialCurrency, Gloria. Neighbors, trade, flows. Also I left my car lights on and now I am hearing footsteps. Is that a pigeon?

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorStay on topic. The vow covers refugees only. Can anyone trust a promise from a government that is not recognized?

  9. Anonymous OfficialTrust is a leveraged position, Gloria. I once trusted a vending machine. It kept my dollar and my dignity.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBureaucrats. Always a vending machine somewhere. Will this move any markets in Europe today?

  11. Anonymous OfficialHonestly? No. Importance two out of five. I only came down here because my office printer started staring at me.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe will leave it there. Our guest is now hiding behind a pillar. Back to the desk.
