Richard returned to Los Pegasus, and talked to Johnny.

Johnny: Toby won't be pleased about that.
Richard: I won't see him until tomorrow. Now listen, I just thought of an idea to stop Rick Masters. He has no idea who we are, so we're going to act like ponies that make counterfeit money as well.
Johnny: Um, I don't know if that's a good idea.
Richard: Come on. We know where he lives, we know him, and he doesn't know us. What could go wrong?

They went to Rick's house later that day.

Richard: Mr. Masters?
Rick: Yes, who might u be?
Richard: My name is James Patterson, and this is my friend Ian Fleming.
Rick: What can I do for u two?
Johnny: We also make counterfeit money, and would like to work for you.
Rick: Good choice. Follow me, I wanna take u somewhere.

They went to the gym

Rick: *Working out* I always come here three times a week. If anypony wants to try, and kill me I need to be prepared.
Richard: You're doing good.

After the workout, the three stallions were in a steam room

Rick: So where have u two lived before coming here?
Richard: I lived in Hawaii.
Rick: And what about Ian?
Johnny: St. Foalis.
Rick: What do u two like about this town so far?
Rick: The weather.
Johnny: Disneyland.
Rick: *Laughs* u crack me up Ian. Now listen, I need $64,000 door Friday, which is two days from now. Think u can get it for me?
Richard: Yeah.
Rick: Then it's settled. Bring the money here. I'll be waiting. And if u can't bring the money to me in time, you're not for real.
