[fade into a middle aged bald man, sporting a very serious face as he pours himself a healthy double of whiskey over ice. behind him is a healthy assortment of bottles of all shapes and sizes, various shades ranging from clear to amber to dark almost black.

Name's Mick. I figure since the city was nice enough to let me have this bar, the least I could do was let all of you have something nice too.

So for the next month, we've got half price drinks at CriminALES. Don't get used to it though.

Oh and if you're looking for a job, I could use a hand. Benefits include a paycheck. You still have to pay for your drinks and no you can't have 'em on the clock.

Got a couple do-gooders in the mix too. What about you, Mr. Likes The Taste of Alcohol?

[neutronium]

What about me? Are you asking if I am a criminal, or a 'do gooder' as you put it?

[kelvins]

Yeah. I like to know if I'm gonna have trouble stepping into my establishment.

[neutronium]

I would consider myself neither.

I believe in bringing order and control to the Galaxy.

That is necessary, not good or bad.

[kelvins]

Sounds a whole lot like trouble to me. Going on about control and order. Seems real familiar and I don't like it.

[neutronium]

Oh, and why does it sound familiar to you?

[kelvins]

Because the last time I heard a man spouting the same crap, he was looking to destroy the world as I knew it.

[neutronium]

Come now, why would I want to destroy this place? It benefits me.

[kelvins]

Glad we agree on that bit at least. Doesn't mean I trust you though...

[neutronium]

I would think you a fool if you did. I don't trust anyone.

[kelvins]

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine and optimism?

[neutronium]

No one said we ever had to be--I'm a realist.

It has served me well.

And yes, I know, you think it won't here.

[kelvins]

Realist. Asshole.

Same difference. And that's coming from someone who is an asshole.

[neutronium]

Usually the people who find me to be an asshole are just bitter about something I've done.

But I suppose I can understand.
