[Oswald glances sideways at the datapad, taking that in. He keeps his face, somehow, relatively neutral, eyes flicking up to Edward's face briefly]
Hm. Interesting. Thank you. [he turns his attention back to Meroni, then, eyes narrowing]
Really, Don Meroni. Is all of this truly necessary?
"Necessary? I'm just tryin' ta get a good price for the merchandise I'm deliverin', Penguin. My boys gotta eat too, ya know."
[Oswald quirks an eyebrow, removing the long black cigarette holder that he somehow got out during the time that Edward was inspecting the merchandise. He blows out a stream of smoke] Then perhaps you should consider the quality of said merchandise before making an attempt to increase the price.
"If you don't like it, we can just take it back."
Oh? And try and sell it to another? I already paid you partial for the acquisition, Meroni. This sort of business is really quite uncouth.
[the way Meroni smirks is infuriating, and Oswald's hand twitches, wanting to grab his gun and put a bullet in his skull. Unfortunately, that would cause more trouble than its worth at this point.]
"You say uncouth, I say just getting what I'm owed. Eh? So what'll it be, Penguin?"
