Preed:
[attempting to pass himself and Stith off as slave traders and Korso as a slave so they can rescue Akima; Stith is holding on to Korso]

[Stith peeks around the corner while still holding onto the rope around Korso]

Stith:
Ah. All right. I’ll take out the guard.

Preed:
[takes the rope from Stith] Easy, big girl. This requires cunning and deception. [getting the guard’s attention] Hello.

Slave Trader Guard:
Ah.

Preed:
Uh, I'm an Akrennian trader. I wonder if we might sneak a peek at the new shipment before they go on the market.

Slave Trader Guard:
You're not allowed.

Preed:
Traditionally, no. You're absolutely right. But you see, I need a new slave rather badly.

[slaps Korso]

Preed:
Stop fidgeting, worm! [he kicks Korso and Korso gives him a dirty look] And I can't wait till auction. I have to be on the shuttle. I have an appointment to have my ear shaved. It has to be booked months in advance. You see my problem.

Slave Trader Guard:
Hmm. You're lying. [points gun at them] He's not a slave, and you're not traders.

Preed:
But...

Slave Trader Guard:
[pointing to Korso] He doesn't carry himself like a slave. Look at the way he stands. Probably ex-military.

Preed:
How...

Slave Trader Guard:
Akrennian traders always threaten before they ask a favor. It's tradition.

[to Stith]

Slave Trader Guard:
And your robes are made out of bedspreads.

[Stith gets a feeling that they’ve been exposed as frauds]

Preed:
Ah. Just out of curiosity, did we have a plan "B"?

[Stith knocks the guard out]

Preed:
Hmm. An intelligent guard. Didn't see that one coming.

[Preed tazes the guard and continues on his way]
