Hey!
[He's here at the emporium - and here's the man he wanted to see. Hansa grins, holding up something in his hand.]
I have something for you. As payment.
[He just?? Tosses the condom from the bag at Rufus???? PAYMENT?????]

He catches the condom and looks down at it, then up at Hansa.

I'm not interested.

Goodness, no! No, I'm not asking for
that

[WHEEZES]
I'm just giving you the thing. I don't need it, myself.

If you don't need it . . . I suppose I can keep it.

Sure, sure. Use it however you want. I don't care.
[Go forth and...do whatever you do with a condom, Rufus.]
Anyways, it
is
payment, so I want something in return.

I want to know...what do you like to eat?

Low-priced food.

[wow..................the man demanding payment is a ramen and fast food lover....who would've thought]
Huh. Alright.
[A beat.]
How are you holding up? Got any more payments from people? Keeping yourself afloat?

How I'm doing is no one's business. If you're that curious, it will count as a request.

You sound like someone who has no friends.

Is there a monetary benefit to having friends?

Yes, actually. You're missing out.

You don't have friends, how would you know?

It's more profitable to spend time working than socializing.

Yes, but in friendship, you can get free stuff for minimal effort. Doesn't that sound appealing?

No. That doesn't sound appealing at all.

Oh? And here you are demanding payment. In friendship, you can get all sorts of payment. Are you going back on your values, Rufus?

This and that are different.
Payment is for services rendered. I can adjust my rates as needed and accept contracts accordingly. I have no interest in payments from unreliable sources.

So, what makes a source reliable instead of unreliable, then? Consistency?

It's simple. Professional and private lives should be kept separate.
