"high-impact shields, all business." 

Historically, the law permitted the creation of an artificial being -

limited liability - the corporate shield - is a fundamental tenet of
corporate law and was created to encourage entrepreneur ship.

Recall that  when R-24 and Prairie pitch the violence theme park
business plan to Zoyd and Zoyd says the bank will take his house,
Prairie and I-24 argue that Zoyd is a local businessman. Zoyd is an
entrepreneur, but he doesn't want to admit it or he doesn't know what it
means.
