“We’re a startup”

“What’s your plan?”

“Giant mirrors in space to control the sunlight that hits the earth’s surface.”

“Wow, sounds incredibly expensive and of dubious technical merit. What are you asking to make this happen?”

“We need whatever money you have in your wallet right now.”

“And the return on investment?”

“Infinity zillion dollars.”

“I guess I’d be a fool not to hand you all my money.”

“Absolutely. Now… that’s a really nice watch. And shoes. We could get you an amazing return if you gave us those, too.”
