Hey, no hard feelings man. You know I respect you as an Evil Overlord equal. And I have no trouble helping you... But presenting yourself like that... You would have done the same to me... It's just our job. You know how it is...
Come by for tea and muffins later... Just don't use the left elevator... It has a trap door, and I can't pass up a chance to root out the competition... No matter how usefull they are as allies, you only ever get that many chances... As long as you don't present yourself as a foolproof, almost too easy target, I shall make no attempt on your life... Evil Overlords code of honour.
Although, if you DO present an almost too good to be true target, I shall take it... As I expect you do me. Now, if you will excuse me, I shall retire to my Evil Domain, hidden in my secret location beneath my nuclear proff subterrenian shelter... Only one person knows where it is... And that's me!
My minions are teleported in here, so no one knows where it is... As I like it...
The invitation for tea and muffins will be in the mail. I will send it to the ministry of Evil Overlords, and they shall make sure one of your people get it... Just remember... Not the left elevator. I'd hate to have to make a second attempt before we discuss any world dominations plans... I always find them so fascinating... That and Doomsday devices! ^^
