CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
INT. DOWNTOWN DISTRICT - LATE AFTERNOON
MONEYMAN POURS SOME SOLUTION IN A MOP WHILE WEARING A GREEN TRACKSUIT. MONEYMAN LOOKS AT THE PEOPLE WHO HE IS SELLING TO AND CLASPS HIS HANDS TOGETHER FOR SHOWY EFFECT.
[Moneyman]
Alright, ladies and gents, this is really what you've been looking for. I know a lot of blokes will walk through here saying that but I'm a man of my word because my word is tied up in the motherf%^kin' money! Which I intend to make today.
MONEYMAN FILLS THE REST OF THE BUCKET UP WITH HOT WATER.
[Moneyman]
So, these are the same quality EPA-Registered Disinfectants. Everything I'm about to use here could theoretically be used to clean a crime scene but it will get your floor so clean, you could eat off of it. You put the disinfectants in, you fill the rest of the bucket with as hot of water as you can get and you go to work.
MONEYMAN ROLLS UP HIS SLEEVES AND BEGINS TO MOP THE FLOOR. HIS BUYERS ARE ASTONISHED AT HOW MUCH THE FLOOR IS BEING CLEANED.
[Buyer#1]
You weren't kidding about this stuff!
[Buyer#2]
You're barely even scrubbing it!
[Moneyman]
This is all the real deal. You see the problem with over-the-counter products is that they've got to water it down. Everything has to be safe so that soccer moms don't try and sue companies every five seconds. You guys however run a business and I know it gets busy. You don't have time to try and break your back cleaning. And with my product, you won't have to.
[Buyer#1]
I'm always trying to work smarter and not harder. How much is a bottle?
MONEYMAN WALKS OVER A CASE FULL OF BACK-STOCKED MATERIAL AND OPENS IT DISPLAYING IT FOR THE BUYERS.
[Moneyman]
$75 for four bottles. $110 per gallon. If you're not satisfied with it, just give me a call. So, how will you gentlemen be paying today, cash or card?

Rafarrailr!
THE SANDCLOTS HIT A REFLECTING ENERGY SHIELD AND ARE REPELLED BACK WITH DOUBLE THE FORCE. FOR A MOMENT, THERE'S SILENCE AND TO̅MI BEGINS TO MEDITATE AGAIN.
