“Magnificent!” Jason exclaimed to himself. He’d won the lottery, or something very close to it. He’d just got the call: the internship! The one he'd been dreaming about!

He stared, wide-eyed, a sudden, almost uncontrollable giggling bubbling up in his chest. “Well, that’s just… perfect!” he declared, his voice high with the sheer absurdity of it all. He started to laugh again.
