That is the future of labor. Okay? They're bigger. They're stronger. They hopefully gripe a lot less. And also, soon, I'm gonna have millions of them. Fucking crazy... They're gonna form their own society. They'll probably form their own culture. Then maybe they want to organize. Maybe they want to rebel. And that's why we need someone on the inside who represents WorryFree's needs. Someone they can relate to.

Well, why the fuck did you choose me? Out of everybody you could have chose, why did you pick me? - For what? - Cash. Cash. You are awesome. I've never seen anyone go through the ranks at RegalView like you did. And I want someone like that at WorryFree. Someone hungry. Someone who'll fucking shank their own friend in the back if it means getting what they want. Now, look, I can see that you're freaked out. And that you want to say no. But I wouldn't do that before you see what I'm offering.

No, man. No, no. There's no fucking amount of money that will make me do that shit. Two things. One: it's a short-term contract. Five years. Done. Then we give you the diffuser antidote special sauce serum and you're back to normal. And the second one, and I want you to remember this. You're gonna have a horse cock.

Because I was looking at it maybe from up here. But that it might be different. Is it bigger?

No. No, it's the same size. I mean, I'm glad you're feeling yourself. Is that why you tried to booty call me last night? I didn't try to booty call you. I lost my phone. I told you. It doesn't matter. I got a new one. What is up with you, Cash? You called me at 3:23. You left a video message. I didn't check it, cause I assumed it was lewd as fuck and I wasn't trying to do that... Can I see that?
