"Working together" is a very generous way to put it. [dang, check out that literal iron-clad contract.] We both have certain restrictions when it comes to each other's business.

I can't interfere with his machinations over on this side but on the flip side he can't interfere with my business dealings or what I sell to you all over here. It's more "co-existing" than a "partnership".

[Alas, Garfield is still a capitalist.]
