The tone labeled "Let's be reasonable" was used to pull the villain down to the opponent's level. Rich life experience told him that all megalomaniacs, from supercomputers to giant space shrimp, reacted very vividly when they were treated as equals.

If they stopped stroking their beard (this was especially true for shrimp), and their eyes involuntarily jumped to the big red button with the inscription "Self-destruction", the day was declared not in vain.
