White- The massive toxic gas cloud?

 

Dealer- Precisely.

 

Broker- I assure you that the properties are well protected against the gas cloud. I had some helpers make sure of that. There is a full list of new sites in my office in Burnley.

 

Oswald- Oh, what the hell, you can never have enough safehouses, that's what I say!
