Inaba's way up in the mountains, right? It's at the end of the train line.

[He takes a breath, picking up momentum now.]

If the bridges go out, no one can get in or out of town. And if you control the bridges, think of how much money you could make with the tolls.

[charlastan]

Huh. Guess that's true...

[He scratches his chin, thinking about it. Someone didn't sleep through his entire class on classic swindles. So he plays along, acting the part of a sucker and lifting up the megaphone again.]

PRETTY SURE A BRIDGE IS OUTTA MY BUDGET, KID. THEY GOTTA BE WHAT, MILLIONS?

[eatsyourscience]

It depends on how good you are at bargaining. I bet you could get one for as low as 50,000.

[Yen, that is.]

[charlastan]

HUH! NOT BAD FOR A WHOLE BRIDGE...

[It's downright suspicious for a whole bridge, but that's part of the game.]

I DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH CASH ON ME THOUGH. YOU WILLIN' TO GO ANY LOWER? SAY...1000?

[He's lowballing on purpose.]

[eatsyourscience]

We can always set up a payment plan. There'll be interest of course, but we can keep that reasonable.

[charlastan]

[Stan considers this...and then makes another terrible offer.]

HOW'S ABOUT 1500, ALL OF IT UP FRONT, NO INTEREST?

[eatsyourscience]

50,000 and you can use the existing toll booth instead of building your own.

[There is no toll booth on the road into Inaba. But there's got to be some small structure nearby that Souji can say is a toll booth.]

[charlastan]

2000 YEN, I GET TO USE THE TOLL BOOTH AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL.

[AKA you're pushing your luck, kid.]

[eatsyourscience]

Deal.

[Triumph! Souji goes back to his seat. This is the worst class.]
