I've tried but then they're all like "don't be racist chinese are all noble and trustworthy" and then after they get scamed they're all like "flippin chinese country of thieves."

It's the natural cycle of life.

Yes from a pick pocket we then became fast friends. Then the day came when he was taken by the local mob boss because he owed him money. I rescued him but put the boss’s second in command got hurt and he came after us. We know the Chief of Police was dirty so we called one of my contacts from Interpol. We were staying in a safe house while we waited, for Interpol to find him and take him in for trial. But then they kidnap my ex-girlfriend then we know what we had to do, we had to save her and take him down once and for all. With my friends Tec skills and my training he didn’t stand a chance, or so we thought. Turns out my ex was really the boss’s daughter. she didn’t want to lie to me but her father made her. He shot my friend but then the explosives my friend had set up went off and sent his men running, He was alone. I fought him to the death but I spared him because at the last minute my ex yelled out and I know I was not that man anymore. So I knocked him out cold and called Interpol to pick him up. I picked up my friend and gave my ex one last look good bye and left into the sunset. cool

Please do not quote hamlet to me, I understand that he used simple words to convey a simple meaning. I then gave a joking reply to which he gave what I assume was a very deadpan response. So I thought I would check. And do not use the quote from the part of the play, were Lord Polonius is calling hamlet mad it gives a bad vibe. One final note, Brevity might be the soul of wit, but keep in mind that all that glisters is not gold
