Faruq Tauheed Introductions[]
"Here to interfere with your bottom line, cutting prices and tires. You'll get buried in the bargain bin by this killer for hire. We've got a great deal on robot parts today, it's solely true, because you'll be half off when he breaks you in two. Give it up for COMPETITIVE PRICING!"
"This bot name makes you think you can haggle for a deal, but insult him once and your fate will be sealed. If you try to talk him down and negotiate a number, you'll see the lowest he can go is six feet under. It's COMPETITIVE PRICING!"
