Vlad, the reason I didn't introduce you to the real boss is because you're simply too nutty for the honor. You think I'd drag someone drooling like this into a room with those Indian rugs the high bourgies love so much? It'd be the end of my game, which, as I'm sure you know, has been immensely profitable to me. I'd hoped that Benjamin's Russian translator could have been a bit more civilized than this, but alas for the memory of the Frankfurters, he's not.
