"Very well, gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
"Well ya see, it's about my little brodda. I love my little brodda. And he loves his little Battlemechs. You know what Battlemechs are, Mr. Harmony Gold?"
"You could say I'm familiar with them."
"We thought you might be, didn't we Vinnie?"
"Yeah, we figured you was familiar, you could say that."
"So my little brodda, he wants to play with his favorite Marauder on the computer, see? Da t'ing is, we heard you said he couldn't do dat."
"Well, we at Harmony Gold feel it's important to maintain the value and security of our intellectual properties and - "
"Oh, I see! I definitely do see. I do sympathize with you Mr. Harmony Gold. Vinnie here sympathizes with you too. He's sensitive, Vinnie is. Like my little brodda."
"Well, sir, I sincerely regret that your brother has been negatively affected by other's unwillingness to properly license our valuable IP. I wish I could help."
"That's very kind of you, Mr. Harmony Gold. Very decent. He's decent, eh Vinnie?"
"Yeah decent. You'd figure a decent guy like that could work out a deal."
"A deal! Boy, ya know, it's a good thing I keep Vinnie around, he's so smart. Here was me, thinkin' there ain't nothin' you could do for my little brodda, and bam! A deal, Vinnie says! What kinda deal, Vinnie?"
"Oh, me, I don't do no fancy shmancy deals."
"Ah, a decent guy like Mr. Harmony Gold here don't mind some lowly type deals, do ya?"
"Well gentlemen, I'm afraid I really can't commit to - "
"Oh, it's nothing really! Nuttin' to commit to, is there Vinnie? Just an understanding."
" Yeah, an understanding. Cause it'd be a shame if Louie's brodda couldn't play with his little Marauder, wouldn't it?"
"Yeah, I can just see 'im now, cryin' on da floor his pretty little kneecaps all dirty. He has such nice little kneecaps."
"Ya know, Mr. Harmony Gold, I bet you have pretty kneecaps to. I can just tell, I'm gifted like that. Do ya like your kneecaps, Mr. Harmony Gold?"
"I'm not sure I see how that's relevant to our - "
"Not sure how it's relevant! Haha, he's a real joker, ain't he? A joker with pretty kneecaps, eh?"
"A real master alright, Louie, real funny guy."
"Well ya see the problem, Mr. Harmony Gold, is dat I promised my brodda you'd let him play his Marauder. I don't like to be made no liar, neither. Vinnie knows, I ain't no liar. And it makes to mad to think that you might make me a liar."
"You wouldn't like him when he's mad, neither. Goes crazy. Starts hittin' t'ings!"
"Dat's right. I start hittin' t'ings. T'ings like kneecaps. Right Vinnie?"
"Yeah, you don't wanna be messin' 'round with Louie when he's mad."
"Are you threatening, me sir!?"
"Threatenin'? Threatenin' you? Haha, threatenin' you.... that's a good one isn't it Louie?"
"We wouldn't never dream of threatenin' you! Nah, we never make threats, do we Vinnie? We make promises. Kinda like the one I made to my little brodda."
"And we don't never break promises, do we Louie?"
"Nah, we don't break no promises. Not promises. Sometimes odder stuff gets broke - "
" - Like kneecaps - "
"Yeah, like kneecaps. They get broke. But no promises. Capice, Mr Harmony Gold?"
