* OutGambitted; Boss and Don E figured since they were the only source for brains, Major would have no choice but to work with them.

Adding to the gambit, we see beforehand that the delivery service ''can't'' actually provide the brains, but merely letting everyone ''think'' they can is all they need to ruin the monopoly Mr Boss and Don E had.
