Anyway, after you yank them away from their jobs, they won't be able to pay for anything they need and want, so you'll have to.
But you won't want to pay very much, so you'll throw them into hot warehouses, or onto parking lots under some tents.
And soon they'll be hungry. Tired. Dirty. Gross. Sick. Out of touch.
