At the diplomacy table, a human and an alien in a strange bodysuit are in a fierce argument. At the end of the table, the hero puts out their hands to call a halt.
Hero: Stop fighting!
The hero pulls off the alien’s strange helmet, revealing a human underneath.
Hero: You have more in common than you think!
The hero pulls off the human’s mask, revealing an alien underneath. Both parties look at them angrily.
Hero: Oh. Sorry, uh… proceed?
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?

Ah, yes. It’s the old ‘give them a common enemy’ tactic!
