->''"John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. It's over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his fucking dog."''

->'''Thapa:''' Let's talk about something else. Like the money you're going to pay me.\\
'''Henshe:''' We already discussed your compensation.\\
'''Thapa:''' The situation's changed since we last bargained. I can still tell what's happening in the city from this room. I certainly can tell what's going on with the Earth Kingdom troops I've been aiming at. [[BigBadWannabe And you, my friend, are way in over your head. You're hanging on by your fingernails.]]\\
'''Henshe:''' ''(nervously)'' We have a deal.\\
'''Thapa:''' We ''had'' a deal. Let me guess what you were originally going to do here. Once you had [[LivingMacGuffin me and the other two]] in your possession, you were going to work out an arrangement with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive the shangs]] and the Earth Kingdom both, where you claimed a good chunk of the wealth in Bin-Er for yourself. You'd keep us a secret, and if anyone crossed you, ''bang''! But for you to have a credible enough position, you'd need to show the people you were bargaining with your power. The way you've had us blasting away without end— it's all been one big demonstration, hasn't it? You can't threaten someone with a weapon they don't understand the effects of.\\
'''Henshe:''' ''(exasperatedly)'' Congratulations. You know the basics of negotiation.\\
'''Thapa:''' Yes, which means I understand your position is worse now, not better. You've demonstrated that Yingsu, Xiaoyun, and I are the only force keeping the army of the Earth King camped outside the city from marching in here to discover your part in the whole enterprise. You've demonstrated to us that we control whether Bin-Er is open for business, not you or the shangs. Our value has taken a leap skyward, don't you think?

->''"It's important to note how Pokey refers to Giygas during the battle, especially since the English version doesn't quite convey it. In the original Japanese, Pokey saliently drops the "-sama" honorific from Giygas's name, which is a tremendously audacious and disrespectful thing to do. Pokey no longer considers Giygas his boss or his better, but as something more of [[RightHandAttackDog an attack dog or prop]]. This is no longer about what Giygas wants. Between the two antagonists, Pokey is the only one with any control or awareness of his actions, and what he wants is to see Ness beaten and humiliated -- [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum even if it means destroying all existence in the process.]]"''
