So I'm here because I think I may have something I think you want back.
...
...Umm a flash drive?
...
...Umm so here's what I was thinking and you tell me what you think about it. This bypass that's being built. It's gonna destroy my business. I've tried so hard to fight it. There's just nothing I could do. You know I have no power here. I tried. I really did but I don't.
Norma maybe just cut to the point.
Well it's kind of all the point! ...Anyway umm this business of mine is very important to me. It is all that I have to support me and my son who has some...medical issues. And you know I'm kind of in a desperate position here you see. So I was thinking since you have this thing you want back that maybe I could ask you for something in return?
...
So, I want you to create an exit off the bypass. One that would lead to Two Lane highway that would then easily connect to Main Street near my motel. And umm I would like a large billboard just before that exit on both the north and south side of the bypass. And umm I would like approval on any design...And I want a pool. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, say 20 by 40 feet with a Jacuzzi and of course a fence so that it's safe.
...So how do I know that you actually have the flash drive, that you've...opened it?
There are a lot of important people in this town who have invested in the drug trade. I have seen the names.
I see. And when do I get it back?
Well maybe never actually. And it won't do you any good to threaten me or hurt me. Not that I'm saying that you would do something like that. But let's just say I suddenly go missing or my brakes suddenly go out, I will make sure there is one person, someone you do not know, who knows where that flash drive is and I will make sure that as soon as anything happens to me, it gets turned over to the FBI.
...Hmm. So I give you all of these things and you give me...nothing? And then because you still have the flash drive you could come back later and ask for more stuff.
No, I'm telling you I won't. I'm making a deal with you. Okay and I'll honor it if you do.
So no more asks?
No. None. Ever.
...I have to hand it to you Norma Bates. You got me. Well done Norma. We have a deal.
