Nightshade: So you're the British duo I've heard so much about. Which of you is which?


Vertigo: Oi'm Vertigo. This 'ere's me mate, Roxy. Oi'm like the muscle, and she's mostly the brains 'o the outfit.


Roxy: That's not exactly true. I also enjoy torture. We hear you're looking to keep us on retainer. We're not cheap. What's your offer?
Vertigo: Yeah. Wot's this a'bout a regular wage?


Nightshade: I've got some rules. Number one: No sex with the mad scientist. That's killing our productivity. Number two. Reputations need to pe proven. I want results before I hire anyone. You two prove how badass you are, and I'll give you a huge retainer and a bonus for every job you do. There's a pile of money on the table in the minions' barracks for expenses.


Roxy: No problem there. We'll steal you somethin' nice.

 

Meanwhile:

Pink: So my agent, he say it good opportunity. Acting, no? How do you get here?


Frankie: My ungrateful servants mutinied and zapped me into another dimension. So tell me Pink... are those real?


Pink: Zut alors! Do they look real?


Roxy: Oy! You two the double and the scientist? Miss Nightshade hired us to steal her something big, and I'm thinking somethin' impressive, like Big Ben.


Pink: Oh ho ho! Who notice it missing, besides silly English?


Roxy: Oh, a French tart, are you? Fine then, we'll go to the new world and take something huge. Like the Empire State building. He's a scientist, so he can make us a shrink-ray to bring it down to a proper trophy size.


Frankie: I don't know about that. It always seemed like too much of a crime to make things smaller...


Pink: Hmph! Go to ze white-haired scientist. She has ray, I hear her talk about it. And when you get it, I will go to Paris and bring back ze Tour Eiffel as a proper prize and show ze boss how useless you English are.


Roxy: That's fine, cupcake. Bring it on.


Commentary:
Vertigo and Roxy are both British, but only Vertigo has the cockney accent. Roxy has an accent, but it's not the kind you can really spell out, as it's more upper-class. Vertigo's personality is largely based off of the character of 'Alex' in A Clockwork Orange. Together, the duo would not seem out of place in any Quentin Tarantino movie.

French vs British: French don't like British, and vice versa. It's not hostility, but it is animosity. If you're american, think of how the north feels about the south, and how the south feels about the north, and how Texas feels about everybody else.

The shrink the eiffel tower/empire state building is a classic evil villain trick, and is actually used in Evil Genius the game. Which you should play, if you haven't gotten it yet.
