Can someone please explain to me Proximo’s negotiation with the merchant selling him slaves?
“I’ll give you two thousand, and four for the beasts… that’s five for an old friend.”
Anyone know if this had any real meaning or if it was just a simple mistake that made it through the final production?
He’s using a bit of strong-armed negotiation to give himself the “old friend” discount.
“2k + 4k - my discount = 5k”
I have to say, I would have never figured that out if that is indeed the case.
It makes some sense after reading your answers, but my head didn’t go in that direction.
thanks!
Yeah didn’t Proximo grab the seller literally by the balls because he wanted his money back for a previous purchase (I believe it was giraffes, that Proximo decided were “queer”), and the seller said he’d give him a discount on his new stock?
Before he asked for the discount, yes.
