Beloved.
I was hoping for war outright, but this will do. Our associates on Manhattan are already at work to secure additional "warehousing" for certain goods to find their way into the right hands but only if it's for the right price. From the data I have on another screen we still sell at a competitive rate compared to your old network.
The next niche market I'm going to tap into is celebrities. Specifically those depraved movie stars who have an obsession with hosting lavish parties and exploring the meaning of the word excess.
From my experience, they prefer integrating their favored blend of narcotics into food and drink. It keeps up the pretense but still facilitates the high. I have a line through one of our associates with some up and coming action star. He wants to make the right impression to land a lead role in some stupid war movie.
His "goods" will be in ice cube format, they'll be carved into fanciful shapes by some overpaid bartender and served in drinks. If it makes a good impression then I foresee this becoming a fixture for any gathering of those flesh puppets.

What a delightful idea, yet remember to be patient. My patrons must feel utterly secure -- seduced, never coerced -- when they indulge in the Golden Dream.
If anyone says 'no' or does not feel comfortable enough, then they are off the hook, and we shall bide our time until their friends and colleagues persuade them.

A surprisingly long visit. I do not wish to complain, yet, are you certain? The price might be far larger than you anticipated, and you may be unwilling to pay.
As for me -- all is well. I have been removed from all business matters for the time being. All I can do now is to exercise, read, play, and rest. His Majesty is not pleased when I play the organ, so I am hereby ordered to play the piano instead.

I have come to my decision - I am inclined towards the adoption of a Sirian orphan, but I have two conditions. Their parents have not been involved with my people in any shape or form, and I would wish them to be under ten years of age.
Aside from these two terms, I have no other preferences, yet I would suggest making this gesture impactful for the child. Feel free to choose one who has nothing, as we will give them everything.
