Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Maybe they mean the cities are expensive relative to... no, that doesn't make sense, either.

..Aha:

The EIU produces the index as a guide for companies in calculating executive pay in 128 cities around the world. More than 100 goods and services, from babysitter rates and soap to deluxe cars and restaurant meals, were used to calculate the weighted index.

So it sounds like it's a cost-of-living comparison specifically for the upper class. Or something like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Go Team Gender Equality! Or do I mean Team Stereotype Reinforcement?

Either way, not someone you want on your team.

My baby brother, the one who just got married and is getting ready for the move to NYC, just got a sound engineering job at MSNBC. He sent them his resume two weeks ago, they called him back in less than 48 hours, he had a 4-hour interview last Friday, and they called him this morning with an offer. 25% raise over what he's making now. I am about to explodinate with pride.
