he must've thought you were
do you really not wanna take over

[ If only this could be chalked up to Hong Kong's trolling. He was feeling a little like it after Robert's initial question, but then again this is Robert. He kind of feels extra awful about being mean to the guy for some reason.... ]

I wouldn't mind, necessarily, but I don't want to ruin what he's built. [...]

Would you do it?

i think he probably trusted you to do a good job
do you mean would i take over

[oh, god] He probably thought too highly of me, in that case.

Yes.

he's not the type to misjudge someone
really

[well when he puts it like that, robert doesn't feel so inclined to argue. even if he does believe himself incapable of it...

he'll drop it.]

Is that a no?

[ He needs some more proof. Hong Kong is the man for the job! Or he'll appoint himself as such if allowed.... ]

it wasn't
what if we both ran it
you could see what i do
and we'd be doing what my brother wanted

[the amount of reliability here is awe-worthy

and, hmm. he has to deliberate this for a moment, but...]

That sounds fair.
I will try my best, of course.

awesome
then we can totally meet up sometime to talk about it
like when we're gonna reopen and everything

When did you have in mind?

i guess sometime later this month
or next month even
i should find time to take off at the zoo for a little while

[oh good later in the month, that might have been a little awkward otherwise]

Whenever is best for you.
I'm impressed you are capable of managing things so seamlessly, but I suppose that is to be expected.

i just do what i can yeah
but why do you say that
'that is to be expected'

Because you're highly prosperous and successful back home, are you not?
So, here too.

well that is true
it's only natural to wanna make this place better though
right

Yes, it's a good way to look at things.

the casino's definitely one way to make that happen
so we'll work on it together yeah

Right.
Thank you, by the way.

for what
i didn't do anything

[...] For being helpful and considerate, whether you feel this is an obligation [keeping the casino running, that is, while he's useless] of yours or not.

it's no big deal
i really don't mind helping out
plus it's what he'd want

Very well.
Contact me again when it's best for you.

okay sure
i totally will
we can get lunch or something and talk about it

I look forward to it.

[ Don't shoot me, Bob. ]

see you later
