[Worst plan!! But hey, sweaty and shirtless, welcome to the bar. Ned looks sideways at him, still frowning.] I'll write it down, but I'm not convinced.

[So, there, see? He might be willing to compromise, if things get out of hand. "Maybe favors" goes on the list, and then maybe one more note about checking the windows, or something, before he puts the notebook down on the bar. Hmm.]

Either way, we'll see about that. If this takes off, I might not need to cash in on helping you out.
