If you need anything just whistle.
You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?

If you really want to do something new, the good won't help you with it.
Let me have men about me that are arrant knaves.  The wicked, who have
something on their conscience, are obliging, quick to hear threats, because

if they get out of step.  Let me have men about me that are utter villains
-- provided that I have the power, the absolute power, over life and death.
                -- Hermann Goering
