[quoteost_uid0="JobeGDG"][color=#000000ost_uid0]I gotta admit that ths sounded better in my head than it looks in writing.

Smith: What is it you want, Mr. Reagan?
Cypher: Can I have lots of money and power? Pretty please? I've been a very good boy this year.
Smith: Okay... I can put you on the 'nice' list if you betray and kill your shipmates.
Cypher: Hooray!
Smith: Good. Now get off my knee.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]The head-to-pen,-er,-keyboard problem is a noted phenomenon.

That said, I like the punchline. How about,

Smith: What is it you want, Mr. Reagan?
Cypher: Nothing really. I just want to be reinserted into the Matrix, be an actor in a summer blockbuster, and have a horsey.
Smith: Okay... I can put you on the 'nice' list if you betray and kill your shipmates.
Cypher: That doesn't sound very nice.
Smith: Just shut up and get off my knee.

Hm. Still needs work....

(by the way, welcome to the boards)[/colorost_uid0]
