A very dark caption.

"Ah, Mr. Hamlin, good of you to join us for dinner tonight! Come, we will dine shortly but for now take a drink. The rest of the guests will be here shortly."

"The other guests? Well, there is me, you, and two more executives from the northeast region, and two friends of mine, a Mr. Raskin, and a Mr. Maxwell. They have no arrived yet, but will be there shortly."

"I can hear the fear in your voice, Mr. Hamlin, and that tells me much more than the very 'conventional' questions you are asking like about guests or the menu. Take a drink and I'll tell you."

"You have your drink? What is that, a vodka and lime? Good choice. You clearly have noticed I look a bit different. Well, I had a bit of work done, much more extensive than cosmetic surgery. This involved taking my head, removing it from my old, failing body, and transplanting it onto a new body. That was, as you can guess, not a voluntary thing for the woman we did it to, not that one would ever voluntarily agree to have her head removed!"

"Her head? What about it? We did the same thing to it as we did to my old body and that was completely useless now. Served its purpose and had to go. Remember that last sentence, do you? You should. You said it to me, Mr. Raskin, and Mr. Maxwell a week ago before you made your move to oust us. Well, we're here to renegotiate that along with our special guests. Oh, did I not mention them? Well, that's because they're not all here, just their bodies below the neck. I'd introduce you to my first special guest, but I think you've met your wife before!"
