Default Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth

Probably cloned in this case, but given the clientele expected, perhaps we should wait and see what dominant species would be required for them

I think you will find that the FBW's are compatible in pretty much any format. That is the charm of them, and why their rental rates are so reasonable

Of course you would get full billing as the licensor - the name I had in mind was "Phong's Head Cantina [TM] - Starfury Sector

I can live with that

I am quite reasonable in this regard, only requiring the upkeep for my planned Starfury Merc Cruiser

Hmmmm, usually I would not expect director's emoluments to include maintenance of pleasure craft. Subhject to an agreed cap on rental expenses, I am agreeable to this being an operating expense of the business, subject to recourse to that vehicle as collateral for the franchise

What could be simpler? The expected clientele would provide all that and more. I'm more worried about them exceeding the limit and damaging the property.

Sex and violence and beating up Dutchmen and Americans is all part and parcel of operating a cantuna. I think you need to pay extra to have our fully damage proof furniture. I will write that into the contract

I have a friend who specializes in this sort of thing. Even brings cases of Romulan ale across the Neutral Zone every now and then.

I will allow a minimum level of guest beverages, but you will appreciate that all drinks and foodstuffs need to bougth and sourced through the Cantina

Security, a must.

It is, but I tend to find a red hot poker hand cannon and Barry the T-Rex tend to act as "equalisers"

You were't planning on not visiting, were you? It wouldn't be a true franchise without your esteemed presence.

True, and I wil agree to make guest appearances for a certain fee. I also reserve the right to appoint investigating accountants (at your cost of course) to review the cantina at any time to protect my investment

I have every intention of fulfilling my obligations, but if by some awful mischance something should happen (my ship getting hit by an Abbidon AC, for instance), all due measures need to be taken so that the enterprise may function in my absence. Agreed.

Good, selling you into slavery if the clone cantina fails if underpinning my whole security platform. I will also take a lease over your vital organs.

Yes... yes... [looks up "PIBOR" on UWW (Universe Wide Web) palm pilot while Growltigger is busy]

Sheesh, I am happy to link the interest rate to Dollar LIBOR if this makes you happier.

As I plan to take my expenses "off the top" from the raw profits, this is perfectly acceptable.

Expenses will be capped, with a claw back mechanism if they reduce profits by more than an acceptable margin. In my absolute discretion of course.

Sad to say, I have none (comes with being a stocky philosophy geek who plays SEIV )

We may be dust before the wind, but I am then taking security over your vital organs, with full rights to sell them if you should default.

[checks med insurance... yep, regeneration procedures covered] No problem.

I will take an assignment over that policy as well thank you

As the English would say, righto old chap.

Not since 1945 they wouldn't. We would probably say, "there's a bleedin' yank, go one, stick the bugger one and give 'im a kickin'. Lawks"

Just one point. There is a band that wants to play in the cantina [jerks thumb over shoulder to a gaggle of black-eyed, white-skinned, gilled creatures carrying their instruments]. They got kicked off of their original gig on Tatooine, and are willing to work cheap. I think they might provide the right... atmosphere... for the cantina. Or, barring that, the first victims.

No problem, I am a firm beleiver and promoter of live music. Failing that, if are no good, bring them to Barry, he likes musicians (the instruments are really crunchy)
