Hn...well if you want to disregard it you can, but it's a pretty big favor. I don't mind that you're getting me a gift too, but...you're coming with me...

Me lettin' you pay for me to visit the top vacation spots in yer world's a favor, huh? Heeeeeeh... I'm suddenly gettin' why yer so into this "charity" thing this time of year, if that's yer idea of a "favor" to someone...

So you're okay with this? Well I don't mind being charitable with you, but it's really because I want to and it's not the kind of trip to take alone.

Why wouldn't I be okay with it?

....Oi, what're you plannin' to do to me...?

Well, you'd be away from the Devil's Nest for a while, but if it's going to be okay with you then that's great.

Eh? Nothing, unless you call taking advantage of the resorts a devious scheme.

Ah! [He hadn't thought of the whole taking time off 'work' thing. He's used to doing whatever he pleases, but that rarely involves being out of touch with his base for more than 12 hours at a time.]

As a working man I understand it, but you can also worldhop now can't you?

You realized it, eh? Guess I rushed over a little too fast last time...

Still. A job that keeps you from doin' anything good's a burden. My jobs ain't like yours. I'll just consider this a chance to prove that to myself. Hn. Yer really spoilin' me, here, a two-layered present like this.

You didn't have Herr de Killer's monocle...I understand that's how you used to get around...

Ah...well as long as you come and it's not a problem then it's fine, though there's a lot of flying involved.

You knowin'll make surprising you a little tougher, but...

Ain't flying somethin' fun? You got airplanes there, right? Flying one-car trains, basically? You wanna fly here, yer options're basically a hot air balloon or taking a running jump off a high building.

Planning surprise visits, Herr? Hoping to catch me when I'm singing in the shower?

It'll probably be a novelty for you and it'll be comfortable, I like private jet flights. I enjoy it though.

Well, the reason I got it in the first place was---pffffttt...you sing in the shower?

Well, if it's gonna save you some travel cash, I can probably world hop us around on yer world, too... That might count as payin' part of my way, if air fare's pricey over there... I guess... [But he still really wants to fly at least once.]

My bathroom has great acoustics, Herr, it's only naturally I'd sing in the shower. It helps when you're good at it.

No, no...the fee for a private jet isn't based on how many passengers you have, it's the hours. Fly with me.

Everyone sounds good in the shower, it don't count.

Well, I could world-hop you too, but since you like< jets...

Oh yeah, well then I must sound godly in the shower, since you would have to magnify good by that much to get the quality of my voice.

Why don't you fly with me for a while just to see if you like it first.

You think you sound godly anywhere, it don't count.

I guess, since you insist.

Of course it counts, you're comparing me to any Tom, Dick, and Harry...I'm going to sound better by compairison.

You know you want to press your nose against the glass and look down at the clouds and the cities and the crop circles and the houses and the neat little patches of land and the mountains...and if we run close by a thunderstorm those are pretty neat from the air, the snow.

[Just a moment, he's too caught up in thinking about how awesome flying sounds to realize he's supposed to be framing it as a favor to Klavier to go along. At the moment, he has the world's worst poker face, too.] ...!

And since it's a private jet you get all the comforts that you can't get on the commercial lines...with the screaming children and the hefty guy with the onion breath snoring on your shoulder. Bath, bed, living, electronics, mini-bar, the works and you get your personal flight attendant service on a private jet...and no one can take your window seat from you.

Pretty tempting, huh?

[Having never had the displeasure of a commercial flight, Greed doesn't quite get the difference. Klavier could send him coach to nowhere in particular and leave him crawling over the fat onion man to see out the little oval window and still have him excited. He'll try to downplay it, now. He's still not very successful.]

So we hang out in an apartment with personal servants in the sky for a while? I can think of worse ways to spend the winter.

Exactly...one question though...how are you with snow and ice?

Hmm? Ah. I'm fine with cold weather, we get snow and stuff here... I've never done the skiing thing or anything, but I bet I'm awesome at it anyway...

Well, we could start on the bunny slopes and work our way up if you're really good. [He's just imagining Greed rolling down the steeper slopes]

...You're already probably good at it, huh? [The nerve of him, being better than Greed at something he's never even done before. He'll want to jump right on the expert course. Even after rolling all the way down it. Twice.]

I lived in Germany, Herr, it gets pretty nippy during the winter so I've gotten pretty good at winter sports...want me to teach you?
