The Middleman Quote
[creature runs around noisily while being tased]
The Middleman: Heck of a mess, huh.
Wendy Watson: Excuse me? [Creature explodes - all is quiet]
The Middleman: I said, heck of a mess. Huh.
Wendy Watson: Whatever. I'm a temp. [sirens approach]
The Middleman: Hey, now! The heat's on its way. Okay, cowgirl, here's your marching orders. Anyone asks, this was a gas main explosion. I was never here, this conversation never took place.
Wendy Watson: Marching orders? What about that hentai tentacle monster?
The Middleman: [shrugs] Tell the truth if you want, but if you do, I'm going to have to root you like a hog and kill you. [beat]
The Middleman: Sorry. So, what's it going to be: Keep the secret, or death?
Wendy Watson: What do you think?
The Middleman: Ma'am, specificity is the soul of all good communication.
Wendy Watson: [beat] Yes. Duh. [his wristwatch Voice Stress Analyzer reads 99%]
