[The man makes no move to stop Knives from sticking the folder under his arm. He has a more extensive copy after all so he doesn't mind. He also doesn't seem to mind the way Knives's body appeared to shift. He's read both of the Plant's files before coming in here after all.

Vash, however, does notice how lucky the man was just now. His brother's voice coming through Knives's head.] Knives. [There's a warning tone to the mental voice.] Careful. Don't make things worse.

[The man stands and smooths out his jacket as he does. Still just as calm as always. Like he deals with madmen all the time.] Before we approve of this contract, could you prove it? We'll bring your brother back, but we'd like to see an example of how you plan to deal with the disrespectful way he spoke to you today.

Would that be acceptable to you, Mr. Millions? Put our minds at ease that we have nothing to worry about with leaving your brother to you. If your example is satisfactory enough we may even be able to wave his fine this one time.
