Nostalgia mixed with interest became this. Canon is "Have Gun - Will Travel"

[havegunwilltravel]

Now you just be silent and listen good mun. I've got places to be, and I don't think sitting around on my behind is going to get anything done. If you need me, you know the standard price. $1,000.

[ Which translates to over $12,000 nowadays. ]

Heavy price. What? Are you really such an important guy?

[havegunwilltravel]

Some men may put their lives on the line foolishly. The kinds of finer things in life I require have high costs.

[puppy_lancer]

What kinds of things? Can't you just take them for free?

[havegunwilltravel]

Clothing, the theater, and necessities such as food and drink. I'm not a thief, mister.

[puppy_lancer]

I ain't either. But I find sometimes people give me stuff voluntarily. Or I can just work odd jobs for them in exchange.

[havegunwilltravel]

Different people do things in different ways.

Besides, I have other reasons for doing what I do.

[puppy_lancer]

Huh? Is it your code of honor?

[havegunwilltravel]

It's more than that, but seeing as I'm not at liberty to explain it to a stranger I'll leave it at that.

[puppy_lancer]

[He shrugs.]

Well, good luck with extorting your mun then.

[havegunwilltravel]

Fair pay for fair work is hardly extortion.

[swordedpast]

Wow. Aren't you selling yourself cheap?

[havegunwilltravel]

$1,000 is a beginning number that has the chance of changing should trouble be evident.

[swordedpast]

Why not expect trouble from the start? You can't seriously imagine that the sort of job you'd get would be calm. "Places to be," after all.

Mister, I'm the kind of man that prefers to solve problems with words rather than a gunfight... but I can still hold my own only if absolutely necessary. Here's my card.
