11 You Not now. I'm on a roll. [Leave.]
12 Savoir Faire The dishevelled hair, cheap clothes, slumping posture that suggests an unearned sense of superiority...
  • 15
13 Savoir Faire Seems to be one of those conceptual types... not good. If we proceed cautiously we might get something tangible out of her.
  • 17
14 Savoir Faire Yes, this seems to be one of those *conceptual* types... not good. If we proceed cautiously we might get something tangible out of her.

15 Empathy Hints of deep emotional trauma that have led to ironic detachment...
  • 16
16 Savoir Faire It's all there if you know how to read people. Commanders of the streets like me have it down to a tee. I'll teach you. Listen up...

25 Savoir Faire Straight into a bullring with no prep talk? No-no-no. It's your first sales negotiation, Savvy's gotta give you the do-s and don't-s.
  • 28
26 Savoir Faire The *artisto*. Now hold up, you can't go into a bullring without a prep talk. It's baby's first sales negotiation after all! Savvy's gotta give you the do-s and don't-s.
  • 28
27 Half Light Oh no, not a *happening*!! I don't like the sound of that...
  • 33
28 Pain Threshold That's a pathetic-looking *bull*. Where are the sharpened horns ready to puncture your gristle? There's no real danger here.

32 Savoir Faire Artistos are known to *repel* wealth. It bounces off their skin like rubber. The moment a reasonable business proposal enters their periphery, they go and get 'political'.
  • 59
33 Savoir Faire What you need to do is lure them in with a strong one-liner -- get them on your side before you've even finished a sentence. Show us what you've got -- pretend you're facing the SKULL-girl!

45 Savoir Faire Holy-moly, are we being arrested here?! Only tax inspectors and debt collectors speak like that. You don't want to start your business relationship with the wrong vibe.
  • 47
46 Electrochemistry Counterpoint! What if pleasure *is* your business? Gigolos make bank *and* get that wet-wet. It's never too late to change careers...
