I'm the "Yuppie Mephistopheles?" That's great.

The yuppie metho-what now?

The guy who got Faust to sell his soul. I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a compliment, but what the hell, I'll go with it.

*chuckles* Well, luv, at leas' ya take these things in stride.

...out of curiosity. Do you take offense to the Yuppie part or the devil part?

Neither, actually.

Interesting. What did you do to deserve that title?

I just speak up for people's right to decide for themselves.

*catches the spin and almost grimaces* ...politician or lawyer?

Neither - Nick Naylor, lobbyist.

I'm so sorry. Who do you represent?

Nathan Wallace, surgeon.

I speak on behalf of tobacco; in my capacity as the Vice-President of the Academy of Tobacco Studies, I help clear up some of the rampant misunderstandings about tobacco products.

Sarcasm, or are you being serious?

That's what I read in Newsweek - apparently, they're focusing on the wrong parts of my message.

Right. The message that smoking is good.

The message that the freedom to choose to smoke is good. I'm just supporting people's right to make up their own minds. That's still supposed to be a good thing, isn't it?

Hey, I'm all for freedom of choice. I'm just not used to hearing it quite the way you're putting it.

Well, then, we agree. Choice is great.
