“Did you complete all of the requisite paperwork?” the bank’s loan officer, Michelle, asked Larry.
“Yes, but why do you require all of that crap?” Larry asked, feinting naivety.
“You’re a smart guy, Larry,” Michelle said. “You know that extensive documentation is inevitable. Failure to be accurate in your disclosures would be a grave mistake.”
“But it’s such a hassle and so damn time consuming,” Larry said. “Don’t you have researchers on your team who can dig up all of that information? I bet if I were Donald Trump….”
Michelle interrupted him. “You’re on a slippery slope, Larry.”

Written for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt, where the word his “requisite.”
Also for these daily prompts: Word of the Day Challenge (require), Your Daily Word Prompt (feint), The Daily Spur (inevitable), MMA Storytime (grave), and Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (slope).
Great job, even with the mention of he who should not be named.
