Reminds me when someone asks me to do something for them by asking if I want to do it.
“Do you want to put this in the fridge for me?”
Sometimes I’ll respond with “Is that a yes or no question?” or “No, but I will.”
She’s on her fucking lunch break!
A favor, in this economy?
You’re not MY king!
“Well I didn’t vote for you.”
Be quiet!
You can’t expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
If I said I was the emperor because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Supreme executive power is derived from the will of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!
For that red party hat, I’ll do whatever you want
“What would you do for a grey one?”
“I accept hamburgers.”
This could be the start of a fun buddy comedy. You’d have a great pairing with the king who is well-intentioned, enthusiastic but out of touch and unfamiliar with the way normal people live and the mermaid who is a cynical jerk but secretly a softie and also unfamiliar with the way normal people live, but I suppose the fact that one of them is terrestrial but the other is aquatic could limit their ability to go on an adventure together.
It could be like the “Knight Boat” parody of Knight Rider from the Simpsons: “Oh look, there’s a canal.”
