Essentially, he's written that for the price of ten dollars - he's assuming she's not asking for change - and a few favors if they become necessary, he will act as her attorney for one year. "Sign here," he says, pointing to a line he drew on the paper and handing her the pen. "Then you're all 'client-live'," he tells her, using her odd phrasing - that sort of reminds him of Mike.
