"Cost? Oh, I couldn't really—that is, I shouldn't—"
* * * * * * * * * *
Is it "couldn't" or "shouldn't"? What's the confusion, old man?! Can you not conceive of the price or is the matter just too delicate a topic to broach? Are you afraid that if you estimate too high, Scarsdale will be offended and shoot you with his cane? Or do you fear lowballing yourself and being stuck in a contract with this evil monster which will cost you more than you're worth?!
I suppose I would also be super nervous and confused dealing with an evil super-villain in his evil penthouse lair with his evil goon standing nearby smoking way too many evil cigars.
