Slolom is behind this, isn't he? [quiet, patient chuckle] So my vacation starts a little early. The Betty Ford clinic is a little much, but if you can recreate my office suite this accurately, then you really must be worth the money that my people pay for you.

One of you could be a little courteous and explain to me where my bathroom is.

[Les gets an oh-I-like-you grin from Malcolm

Private - Also AHAHA Tomorrow People Reference. Man I feel old :|

[thatsphysics]

Succinct yet wholly enlightening. Precisely what I was looking for.

Sounds like you and I think and operate on a similar wavelength, Mister Tucker.

Private - I loved that fucking show, man.

[f_ckitybye]

Glad to oblige. I like your style, Mr Grossman, if you don't mind my saying so. I appreciate a fellow who knows what he wants and how to get it.

Private

[thatsphysics]

Then you, sir, are a man that knows the business, and are a man I would be happy to work with.

Private

[thatsphysics]

The suspense isn't necessary, fella; this isn't a pitch, and you're not selling this place to me. How has it happened in the past and who was responsible?

Private

[thatsphysics]

How?

[aintnothingfair]

I ain't heard of no Slolom and I'm here 'cause of an Admiral.

the less he says the less likely people will be able to tell he's putting up a front :|

[thatsphysics]

Admiral?

LOL. This is true.

[aintnothingfair]

He's in charge of this here boat. Made a deal and now I'm here. 'sposed to be wardening someone.

[thatsphysics]

So you work here.

A rehabilitation is a redemption is a prison is a recovery, and that's where we are now.

I've been here one day, and I can just smell the bullshit reeking off this place, and it takes a special kind of artist to cut through all that. I take it you're up for the challenge.

Private

[thatsphysics]

[Oh goddamnit. Play ball, Les]

Ready and raring. But since we're all making nice, now, and you're a new arrival like me -- what are you hoping to get out of this place?

Private

[proudsociopath]

[She smells your fear. bwhahahaha.]

Oh, nothing. I'm just looking to live life to the fullest while I'm here. That's all I'm looking to do. It's a gift being here. It's freedom. We've already lost everything, and now they're offering us a second chance, but who needs that when we got this? We can be free of all the bullshit that killed us in our previous lives, right here on this barge, in this prison, in this institution. We're free.

Private - Oh, sweetie, you're going to be eating those words after the next port :|

[thatsphysics]

We'll see how that turns out, won't we?

[Private]

[sarkraticmethod]

[Skeptical Sark is so very skeptical. What ain't no country he's ever heard of and you don't look like anyone's idea of a... Go-getter. :|]

And what precisely do you have to offer us, Mr. Grossman?

[Private]

[thatsphysics]

What you're getting now? Is the mind of a man who has stood at the helm of a production company that since its inception has generated enough money in profits to run a first world country -- and does on a regular basis, in its own way. I have started businesses, and I've saved failing ones, advised world leaders, consulted during international crises and have never once failed to recover any losses.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

As I said, I'm the man that makes things happen. We're all in this together, and I intend to make it my mission to make things happen for all of us.

There's no money circulating right now that you can profit from, but you could always use just another someone who knows how to squeeze the people who think they're in charge, couldn't you?

[Private]

[sarkraticmethod]

A rather lofty set of credentials for a man in the... Television business. [He's trying to decide whether he's impressed or finds this hilarious.]

Oh, we're quite often in the market for individuals with your particular talents. Julian Sark, by the way.

[Private]

[thatsphysics]

[Mild tic. He'll let you minimalize things however you like, Sark. It's your ass that's gonna get bitten in the end.]

So what brought you here, Mister Sark?
