[ ... what? ]

Hey. You.

[ Fitzgerald is not a tall man in comparison to the good writer. But he does stamp his foot down as he steps forward. This is for his darling wife. When it comes to her, he will do anything. It doesn't matter the cost. A small bit of joy brought to her life is all that he needs. That is hardly worthless. ]

At what point did I say that I was joking? This offer is completely real. If you wish to be so difficult, why don't I just buy up the university that you work at instead? No, maybe not. [ Well, that's a lot more difficult. If anything, he could just simply donate an asinine amount of money to the university and achieve the same results. Owning a university itself is a pain. But a donation will work well enough -- and ensure that Fitzgerald's wishes are heard. ]

I am Fitzgerald. I am telling you that this is absolute truth and that my wife wants your stories. It doesn't matter the price or what needs to be done. They'll be mine. So your personal writings, your soul... it doesn't matter to me what you view it as, but it can be bought. [ He leans up, not quite able to get in his face. ] All that comes next is how much dignity that you wish to have? So, let's make things friendly, Howard!

[ Bending down, he picks up his watch to hold it out to the man. ] What do you say?
