Negotiations

You: “So, neighbor, you don’t want to go out there, eh?”

Neighbor: “No way.”

You: “Can I tell you a story? When I was a little kid, I didn’t want to play hockey. But my parents taped a hockey stick to my-hey, what are you doing?”

Neighbor guy is trying to do some fancy bar-tending tricks, like in the wildly popular Tom Cruise film Cocktail. He then spills a little of his drink on himself. What I didn’t tell you earlier was that he is a humanoid-nanobot, and that liquid causes him to malfunction. So yeah, he’s kind of wet now, and goes into “self-destruct” mode, and explodes, destroying both himself and you. What poor choices you have made, because you are now dead.
