Would he go for a bribe? Straight cash?''He says it's against his principles,' David Dilbeck said. 'But he's amenable to a free blowjob.'A pulse became visible in Moldowsky's neck. 'Let's see if I understand. Only if the lady goes down on the judge does she get custody of her child?''He says he'll consider it, that's all. 'Brownie points' is the way he put it.''David, I'll say this: you're one terrific negotiator. They needed you at the fucking SALT talks.
In this excerpt, David Dilbeck humorously questions whether Moldowsky would accept bribes, joking about cash or favors, implying that he might be open to a free blowjob rather than money. Moldowsky's reaction shows some physical signs of stress or intensity, as his neck pulse becomes visible, and he responds ambiguously about a child's custody, suggesting he would consider a questionable deal if it benefits him, referring to it as gaining "brownie points."
The conversation hints at corruption and negotiation tactics, with Dilbeck complimenting his own skills as a "terrific negotiator." The tone is satirical and provocative, highlighting the absurdity of bribery and manipulation within the context of legal or political bargaining, as reflected in the author's sarcastic remarks about the importance of Dilbeck's negotiating abilities.
