Secretary of Bill Gates: Mister Gates. I got a Mister Hiawatha on line 4 for you.
Gates: Hiawatha? You sure it's not Iwata.
Secretary of Bill Gates: Well he does sound Indian so I am sure it's Hiawatha. Can I put him through.
Gates: Ehm... Sure pass him through.
( 1 minute later)
Gates: Hello Mister Hiawatha. How can I be of service to you.
Iwata: Hey Bill. Hiawatha? My name is Iwata. It's me Satoru. I think your secretary did not understand me at all.
Gates: Oh, Satoru. How are you? Yes my wife, Melinda told me to look for the most beautifull secretary I could find. Because that girl would not have any interest in me. Which would prevent me from cheating. Unfortunate she lacks in other areas.
Iwata: Yes, I know that feeling.
Gates: So, Satoru. I am expecting you got good news for us. I don't see why the american department would deny such an generous offer.
Iwata: Yes Bill. I do bring good news. My manager for the US leave of us okayed the deal. Although he asked how much money would be involved for us. If we gave you permission to use the license. Afterall we funded the whole Goldeneye project from the start.
Gates: Well like I said during our previous conversation. You would recieve the same game plus a game of your choice from our developer RARE.
Iwata: Well mister Gates we all know that will still not cover the expenses we had to make on developing the game. My manager from the us department asked if you where willing to add some sum of money to it. I would say ( censored for corperate privacy ) is a nice amount)
Gates: Hmm, Well I would need to talk this through with the finance department but. I understand your point and I do agree with it. Is it possible for me to mail you when I know the finance department okays it?
Iwata: Sure Bill. You can mail me on. satoru.iwata@nintendo.com I will make sure that the IT department will stop the filtering of the microsoft.com domain in the mail. We recently got a lot of spam from that address. I guess I await your mail now. You got anything else to add?
Gates: No, Satoru. You will hear from me per mail as soon as possible.
Iwata: Well then I wish you a good day. And I will look forward to your final proposal.
Gates: I wish you a good day as well. Bye Satoru.
Iwata: Bye, Bill.
