- Hey, a quick question.

- Shoot.

- Have you met Lou Pearlman?

- Lou Pearlman... It certainly rings a bell...

- Tall, blond, kind of chubby...

- Ah! Right. Yes, I believe I've met him briefly.

- What do you make of him?

- I don't know, he seems alright. Why?

- Well, he's kind of offered me a tempting deal.

- Keep going.

- It's a safe bet, really. And there could be good money in it if it pans out well. Robotic back-scratchers! I hear it's a gold mine! They're all the rage now

- How curious. So where's the catch?

- Well... He sort of wanted some money upfront... And I don't know if I could trust the guy. 

- Do you think he's trying to con you?

- I don't know... Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt... It sounded like a sure-fire thing... But what if he's some kind of a swindler?

- Wait a second. You haven't actually given him any money, have you?

– I might have... Am I a complete idiot?

– Well, you'll just have to wait and see!
