Too much typing, not enough tea

LOOK BUDDY. I can do a lava moat. I can do a moat composed entirely of boiling acid. With certain provisions for the animal welfare act, I can even do a piranha infested moat! But I cannot. provide. all three services simultaneously in the same godsdamned moat. You call any contractor in this industry they will tell you the same!!!!!!!

What if it was three concentric moats?

oh that, sure, heck we can have that installed by tuesday

I need you all to understand that this is, in fact, exactly what working in construction is like.

Ok but what about, and hear me out, a lava moat infested with demon piranhas that spit acid?

If I had henchmen I would absolutely be commanding them to "seize him!", and when the target failed to respond with "unhand me!" because people don't actually talk that way, in spite of knowing this would be the outcome I would be bitterly disappointed every single time.

"You went through all this trouble to meet behind your boss' back to... what?"

"Listen, he acts like he doesn't mind but we all know he just really wants someone to say it. Please, just once, when he says the thing -"

"This is ridiculous."

"Come on, man."

"... Yeah, alright."

"Did he really tear up when I said 'Unhand me'?"

"He's been holdin' out hope for a while, man."

Oh, verily, “wretch” is the correct form of address here. Unless the aesthetics disallow it, in which case the classic “villain” will suffice

"Brute", "miscreant", and "scoundrel" are also acceptable.
