\nMISTY: You know, I usually burn incense when I meditate, but the smell of a burning city can be just as relaxing.
JENNY: People are in danger! Why don't you do something?!
MISTY: They stiffed me.
JENNY: What?
MISTY: Your town. Tremorton. They wouldn't cough up the cash for services rendered.
JENNY: I have no idea what you're talking about.
MISTY: I'm a hero for hire. I save people for money. You knew that.
JENNY: And if they don't pay up, you just let them get pummeled?<\/em>
MISTY: Pretty much. I have to eat, don't I?

\nA second way of interpreting the effort level eMIN<\/sup><\/em> is to consider that the principal and the agent do not have completely conflicting objectives. It is possible that the agent gets some utility from his work, but only up to a certain effort level. We assume that the level that the agent is willing to spontaneously offer is eMIN<\/sup><\/em>. The agency problem turns up in this case since the principal would like the agent to offer an effort greater than his spontaneous level.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI'm a slave to my spells
And yes it's true, well
I don't have as many friends as you
But I think you're nice and maybe we could be friends
And if you say no, you're toast\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nFirst world problems
They cause frustration
Forget starvation
In nations abroad
We've got plenty
That bug so many

\nHe is teasing me. Joviality is one of Max's preferred diffusion tactics. Taking on a deliberately inflated voice when directly addressing our differences is designed to produce an effect whereby we might wink at one another: We are both metacognizant, we both know the clich\u00e9s about the other side.<\/em> It isn't entirely ineffective.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
