Analysis of Let's Make a Deal with the Devil



Welcome to the grand MGM Hotel! Roll out the red carpet and Champaign for everybody!
Today, we have an incredibly special guest. Welcome to the hottest club on earth! No bells no,
whistles, yes indeed, just devilish business in profit and greed.

This place is a stick of dynamite! This place is hot! No bells no whistles yes indeed,
just devilish business in profit and greed.

We got casinos and neon lights. Just place your bets and roll the dice! Winner takes all.
I will pay top dollar for your soul. I got a contract for sale. Let’s make a deal. No
bells no, whistles, yes indeed, just devilish business in profit and greed.

Just sign on the dotted line. Come on friend relax. No problems regarding background
checks and picture identification. We have ATM's instant cash availability. The power to do
anything you want. You can live forever if your soul desires!

All I want is your soul. Sounds like a win, win situation to me? Any problem reading the
small print?  Should you hire a lawyer? Absolutely, we have lawyers down here too!
Unfortunately, people in hell, want ice water
