💬— I am not the safe choice. The safe choice for you would be HHM. I believe, however, that I am...the right choice.
— Why?
— That suit you're wearing...did you buy it off the rack?
— Please don't tell me it looks like I did.
— If it did, I wouldn't have asked. So why do you prefer a tailor-made suit? Because it fits you and you alone. Because each and every stitch was fretted over with you in mind. Either you fit the jacket... or the jacket fits you.
— What if I want a whole warehouse full of suits? That's a hell of a lot of sewing. How's one single tailor gonna get that job done?
— I know your bank's needs in regard to this expansion inside and out. Having Mesa Verde as my sole client will take up the entirety of my attention, to be sure. But if this were beyond my abilities, I wouldn't bethrowing my hat in the ring. I would not waste your time. Or mine.
👆btw, a good example of Conditional
◼️THROWING YOUR HAT INTO THE RING
👉 To throw your hat in the ring — бросить вызов, показать что собираешься победить и надрать задницы соперникам (или проблеме, которую вызываешься решить).
She's really throwing her hat in the ring and trying to participate in Russian elections? Well, good luck in prison.
#etymology: Ring здесь не кольцо, а боксёрский ринг (который, кстати, раньше был круглым, из-за чего и получил своё название). Ринги для поединков в Англии ставили на площади, вокруг собиралась толпа. Готов сразиться или хорошенько получить — кидаешь шляпу на ринг.
Первое упоминание hat into the ring датируется XIXв — в одном из выпусков 1805г журнала The Sporting Magazine.
