How to Make Friends and Influence People [Tuesday, April 22, 2014]

If you thought you were getting out of Anakin Kriffing Skywalker's class without an examination, you were sadly, sadly mistaken. "There are four essay questions," he said, passing out the papers, "and then one practical examination question. Please don't hurt yourself too badly. I don't want to have to explain it to your parents, and the paperwork for this sort of thing is completely ridiculous."

He glanced up when he was finished passing everything out. "You have been an adequate group of students when you bother to listen. You will probably not die horribly."

...and thank you, Anakin.

Joker made some quick assumptions about what he, personally, might have done in order to owe that much money to a person who was obviously some sort of crime lord -- and turned out to not be very far off. The main difference between Joker and Han was that Joker wouldn't have shot first. That, and the legs.

"I don't have 50K on me, obviously, but you know I'm good for it. I'm worth a hundred times that much to you if you keep me alive. Sure, I lost your cargo, but if anyone -- anyone -- else had been flying, you'd'a lost the ship and crew, too. So don't even give me that. I can tell you're not the let-bygones-be-bygones type, but I got two words for you: installment plan."
