REALITY: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir BULL.
I am Reality, King of the Markets.

I seek the finest and the bravest traders in the land to join me

You have proved yourself worthy; will you join me?

You make me sad. So be it.
BLACK BULL: None shall sell.
REALITY: What?
BLACK BULL: None shall sell.
REALITY: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir BULL, but I must
make new lows.
BLACK BULL: Then you shall die.
REALITY: I command you as King of the Markets to stand aside!
BLACK BULL: I move for no man.
REALITY: So be it!

REALITY: Look!
BLACK BULL: Just a flesh wound.
