Council Members Gennaro and Restler engage in a lighthearted exchange about appearances and how to look busy at work. Gennaro jokes about Restler's rolled-up sleeves and offers advice on how to appear busy.

  • Gennaro comments on Restler's consistently rolled-up sleeves as a sign of working
  • Restler playfully agrees that it's to give the impression of working
  • Gennaro suggests that looking annoyed is a better way to appear busy
  • The exchange ends with acknowledgment that their conversation is on the record for future reference
