Something that liars like Barry have learned 
to take full advantage of...

And that, of course, was why MMY, according to
Barry, told Charlie it was "Jerry's minions"
who were making him wait by not telling MMY
he was there.

Oh, wait...

Hm, maybe if MMY hadn't told Charlie it was Barry
who had kept him out, he wouldn't have tried to
get Barry fired.

Or was it the tape recorder stunt, perhaps, that
was behind it?

Or an hour's wait. Or several hours' wait.  You
know, depending on which version of Barry's story
you read.
