...I see. Hanako, I thought that might be you. You're going to be in a lot of trouble for this. [to the guards.] I'm a business associate of this child's parents. I assure you they'll see to it that he's punished appropriately, and will be reaching out to pay for the damages.

If he can pass on the message, they will be expecting a check for $74,580 from this kid's parents within the next 7 business days. Thank you, sir, and have a good day. ]
Of course. Between you and me, they're usually pretty reliable, but they've been busy with the Mayor's reelection campaign. So if you don't hear from them, I'd just bill the Mayor's office directly.

He gets like ten steps in before he stops short- ]
Wait, I'm still handcuffed.
[ Security is nowhere to be seen. ]

...Oh, yeah, no big deal. I considered that, and I know how to get you out of those.

I'd be stuck there forever, though. My parents are gone.
