If he comes down on the wrong side, we'll switch our facilities over to making soda or carbonated lemonade.

No D. We merge operations. You'll be the front operation, soda and the like. My relatives and I will run the "other" end of the operation. We'll meet the first Thursday of every month at the diner down by the river. You order the liver and onions, I'll order the basta. We'll both carry tri-folded copies of the local paper. As I walk by your table I'll drop mine...and you, being the gentleman that you are, will pick it of for me and switch it with your copy. Inside of my dropped copy will be your cut in cash. If you need to talk to me otherwise, send little Tony by my house after school or before Mass in the morning. But after school beginning in May I make a Novena. If it's really important have little Tony pass me holy card of the Virgin Mother.

What kind of lobbying pressure do you think he's susceptible to?

LG is pretty straight guy. No practical arguments will sway him. Failing moral or practical appeals I've found that suitcases full of money work quite well. Everyone has their price. My associates and I will handle that.

Failing to negotiate a price, I'll call my Cousin Vito in Chicago who will make him an offer he can't refuse.
