Scorpion's Disciple/Awesome

""Admit it Sasori. Taking time to hang out with me, answering my questions, giving me all that money in a roundabout way… you've been manipulating me all this time."
 * Sasori polite judo Naruto, while admiting that he is a manipulative bastard who had been playing with him.

"All interaction between people is manipulation of one sort or another. We're all puppets, tugged in this or that direction by the laws of reality, our place in society, and our own natures. I do not harbor any ill will towards you, if that's what you mean."

"I… I though we were friends."

"Friendship is just a mutually beneficial social contract. Wasn't I helpful to you?"

"Well, yeah, but…"

"There you go. I can be more helpful still.""
