They offer the aged but by no means senile counterfeiter a quarter share in the enterprise. "Two million dollars. Split it four ways and what have you got?" the brothelkeeper purrs. "Twenty years," Le Dab snorts, and demands half the loot. Slyly the three little pigs pretend to give in, but secretly they plan to eat high on the wolf before the deal is done.
