• [vrrm,vrrm]
• Scott Pilgrim: [paper crinkles, rapid footsteps, fabric shifting, clatter, click] Hello?
• ???: Hey, Scott. I just thought I'd check up on you. You know, see how things are going. I don't want any hard feeling, so I figured why not be the bigger man and give you a call.
• Scott Pilgrim: Uh... thanks?
• Nega-Scott: Who is it?
• ???: No problem, bro. See, I'm not such a bad guy after all. Anyway, there's a couple things we should probably talk about, some housekeeping to deal with...
• Scott Pilgrim: I'm sorry. Who is this?
• ???: Aheh. You're kidding right? [pause] You're notkidding. [nervous chuckle] Okay, let me break it down for you. We have a mutual friend, see, and she- Ahh... Screw it... This is Gideon, when would t be convenient for you to die?
