Take That, Stephen Colbert! Jameson Delivers, Part Two - Page 6

Part of: Mark My Words

[Going for the kill. No pain, no gain.] You know, if you sent me a full collection of your entire brand list, I could do a taste test and report on that. I could write about the subtle differences among them.

Well, I don’t see that as being an issue at all, not at all.

[Trying to speak without squeaking.] Really?

No. In fact, if I was coming down anytime soon, I’d be there and do a taste test with you.

[You mean I'd have to share?]

[Let's get her off this visiting and sharing bullshit idea.] About my tag line, In Jameson Veritas. I’m wondering, it would be a powerful slogan for Jameson. Are you guys willing to pay me outrageous royalties for its use? I would be honored to sell it to you for a lot of money.

You know, I can’t speak to that one… interesting proposition.

[Speak, speak, my little fish circling the bright lure.] Think of the ads.

It’s one of those things I’ll have to get back to you on.

[She may be nice, but if I'm going to get what I want, I need to escalate this thing.]

Yeah, you know, I probably should talk to the president of Jameson because a lot of this is high-level promotional stuff, and I need a decision-maker to make me wealthy and keep me continually slathered in Jameson.

Yeah… I can take care of sending you other products, but you're asking me really tough questions, and I don’t have the authority to make a decision, but I’ll raise it up the line.

[Well, at least I may get some more product.]

I understand. You know, really, all of this is simply designed to help you guys. I am completely dedicated to helping Jameson, and I have absolutely no personal financial stake in this other than I want a lot of money.

[There's a lot more, but certain topics shouldn't be discussed on the Internet.]

I don’t want to take up too much more of your time, but if you can get back to me on these important issues like increasing my wealth... I mean improving promotional opportunities for Jameson, that’d be great.

I will definitely raise those questions and get back to you as soon as I can.

And if they want to interview me, I can come up to New York, or if they want to fly me to Ireland, first class of course, I can do that at the drop of a hat, because international spokesperson is a big job, I understand that.
