But he'll soon be making lethal enemies as well as money, especially if he can't figure out where all the gold has gone. However, a request from Ankh-Morpork's current ruling tyrant isn't a "request" per se, more like a "once-in-a-lifetime-offer-you-can-certainly-refuse-if-you-feel-you've-lived-quite-long-enough." So Moist will just have to learn to deal with elderly Royal Bank chairman Topsy (née Turvy) Lavish and her two loaded crossbows, a face-lapping Mint manager, and a chief clerk who's probably a vampire. Vetinari wants Moist to resuscitate the venerable Royal Mint-so that perhaps it will no longer cost considerably more than a penny to make a penny. Now the supreme despot Lord Vetinari is asking Moist if he'd like to make some real money. well, not like a government office at all. Now he's not only making money, but enemies too he's got to spring a prisoner from jail, break into his own bank vault, stop the new manager from licking his face, and, above all, find out where all the gold has gone-otherwise, his life in banking, while very exciting, is going to be really, really short.Amazingly, former arch-swindler-turned-Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has somehow managed to get the woefully inefficient Ankh-Morpork Post Office running like. Oh, and the chief clerk is probably a vampire.But before Moist has time to fully consider Vetinari's question, fate answers it for him. Unfortunately, it costs more than a penny to make a penny, so the whole process seems somewhat counterintuitive.Next door, at the Royal Bank, the Glooper, an "analogy machine," has scientifically established that one never has quite as much money at the end of the week as one thinks one should, and the bank's chairman, one elderly Topsy (nee Turvy) Lavish, keeps two loaded crossbows at her desk. He's referring, rather, to the Royal Mint of Ankh-Morpork, a venerable institution that haas run for centuries on the hereditary employment of the Men of the Sheds and their loyal outworkers, who do make money in their spare time.
The film also features the first openly LGBTQ+ teenaged. Lipwig, would you like to make some real money?"Vetinari isn't talking about wages, of course. The new animated Disney movie Strange World is underperforming at the box office and is estimated to ultimately lose 147 million. So it's somewhat disconcerting when Lord Vetinari summons Moist to the palace and asks, "Tell me, Mr. Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig, former arch-swindler and confidence man, has exceeded all expectations-including his own. The mail is delivered promptly meetings start and end on time five out of six letters relegated to the Blind Letter Office ultimately wend their way to the correct addresses. well, not at all like a government office.
The Ankh-Morpork Post Office is running like. Seems odd to me, the idea of going to a general store and handing over the equivalent of a miniature post-Renaissance masterwork in exchange for a sack of.
