When you want to make someone have a epiphany about their life, you could do worse than threatening them with death. (I mean it's usually one of the first things a potential victim does.) Still Eda is bit confused by this. (And it does ruin a potential fun of this job quite a bit to her.)
"So, you want us to threaten his life, but not kill him in hopes that he won't take like for granted?"
"Yes."
Eda shakes her head. "I need my partner's opinion on this..."
The value of life among the intellectual variety is, in his opinion, time wasted. All the bells and whistles of meaning and purpose create their share of anxieties and sheer foolishness. In the animal kingdom it's kill, eat and live another day.
Simple.
"Unless you're paying double. We're doing twice the work with you pussyfooting around."
Eda's going to have to agree with her partner on this.
"Sorry man. We kill people, we don't deal in filling people with existential dread in order for them to do something.Or at least for normal pay, you're better off talking to a politician or a priest or something."
"Fine, double the price then." And Eda is outright giddy. "See? It's simple enough."
