"How much do you want?" "£500." "No you don't, you mean £250."
The Johnson Treatment, Evans and Novak:
The Treatment could last ten minutes or four hours… Its tone could be supplication, accusation, cajolery, exuberance, scorn, tears, complaint and the hint of threat. It was all of these together. It ran the gamut of human emotions. Its velocity was breathtaking and it was all in one direction… He moved in close, his face a scant millimeter from his target, his eyes widening and narrowing, his eyebrows rising and falling… Mimicry, humor, and the genius of analogy made The Treatment an almost hypnotic experience and rendered the target stunned and helpless.
He was a Dickensian character, a living caricature, and a tragic Shakespearean figure.
