"Well, since y'all are already here in my neck of the woods, I and mine would be beyond delighted to entertain you for a marvelous meal that we've been fixing, if you'd be so inclined as to come round and sup with us. It will be a real treat for everyone who attends, but I gotta let you know that the cover charge is one man to make a meal from. Otherwise, if that don't interest you, I offer the alternative toll. Ya see, this here is a toll current; ya gotta pay to ride. And you aren't gonna like what it costs to get through—nobody does. Ya see, it costs 100 years of afterlife servitude, each, working at the Beans 'Я' We cucumber plantation in the ghost department. "

"Well, boys. What'll it be?"
