{Ambrose is sitting across from Meridien, at a table with two boxes, one labeled "A" and one labeled "B". He is holding up two fingers.}
Ambrose: I've made one of two possible predictions: that you'll take box A and box B, or that you'll just take box B. If I've predicted you'll only take box B, it will contain a large sum of money.

Keep in mind that you've worked for me for many years, and I have a pretty good knowledge of your psyche, so my prediction is almost certainly accurate.
Caption: Ambrose was getting stingier with paychecks.
