>Excellent, you did great work here
>Son, I appreciate you putting so much effort into this, you really are a genius!

Wow, thank you sir! Well now that I've got your blessings on the work I've done so far, I'd love to carry on with the project. I would like to request, if you don't mind, 25% of the agreed estimate/budget upfront to cover my expenses for the moment

>I see...

Yep! Just need a little bit to cover myself while I continue to make this AWESOME ____ for you. What do you say?

>Well...

You agreed to a $1,500 budget, correct? I would be more than happy if you could put $250 towards the work I've already done for you here. Thanks!

>Yeah... about that. I'm going to need to give some thought on this. I have some other developers on the line who would like to do the whole thing for $200 and they won't charge me until they're finished with the whole thing...

What...

Sir, I can assure you you're not going to get the same product from them.

>Yeah, but this whole paying for something before it's done, I don't know. I thought you did business differently.

I... I already did work though. The project already is pretty much done. I need money. I'm hurting.

>I don't really have $200 to spare right now though, sorry. Whoops, almost spilled my coffee on this $10,000 leather couch!

W... what? You said you could pay $1,500 immediately, and that was last week. You said you had it in your hand ready to pay me...

>Sorry, just got a call, I'll have to get back to you. Great work! I'll keep in touch
