"Why did I ever listen to you about THIS race? I already spend a bunch right here on Earth," protested Jerome Blacker, president of JBI. "I've been having second thoughts about this Jupiter race."
The two tanned and muscular people facing him looked uneasy. A sales tag was still attached to the man's sleeve and flapped as he waved his hand as he spoke. "You already made the commitment, JB--you just have to follow through. Come on, it doesn't cost you any real money."
"You sure as hell aren't much of a businessman if you think this won't cost me anything!" JB said nastily.
"Mr. Blacker," Pascal interrupted; "The publicity about this race will bring in more than enough to offset expenses."
