(...)

"Yes, we've looked into..."

"Even if they did, I doubt a pot of gold is worth that much."

(...)

"You know, I must say it sounds like your efforts would best be spent on, um, more pressing matters."

(...)

"Yes... no... quite. Well, the best of luck to you. Goodbye."

Giles hung up and frowned. How odd. Why would British Petroleum care about leprechauns?
