Dialogue
402- "Guess what -- I've come upon something incriminating."
- "What are you talkin' about, madman? There's no eighth Hardie boy. There's seven of us…
- "So I talked to Klaasje about the tape."
- (Whisper) "Kim, we did it."
- "There's an old catatonic lady in the old fish market, on the other side of the bay. She…
- "Do you have any clues on where Ruby went?"
- Bratan, now is the time!
- Stop. Just up ahead: danger.
- "Oh yeah, that's Ruud." The armoured woman smiles a vicious smile. "Ruud 'The Killer…
- "These men, they didn't do it!"
- "Yes... So what?"
- "You think I care what that company cunt thinks?" He laughs. It's a hollow laughter.
- All right, here we go -- this is an illegal tribunal. Their employer would never sanction…
- Dangerous! Ask about him first. You don't want personal facts about his dead friend…

Notes

- "You won't have to look at that sight much longer, I promise. We will return soon." He turns to leave.

- The lieutenant gives you a sideways glance.
- "And what would that miracle be?"
- The lieutenant has taken a small step back. He looks at your face illuminated by the flames and nods silently. Then the fire falters...
- "Nothing. What happened? Where'd you hear bad words? Was it from someone on the coast? The radio?"
- "Shut up." The lieutenant jabs you in the ribs with his elbow, then turns to the boy...
- He nods approvingly. He even smiles.
- "No." You have rarely seen him with that face.
- Slowly, with your breath held, you take two small steps toward the phasmid. The creature lets out a series of ultrasonic clicks that swarm around your head l…
- "That they are." The lieutenant looks at the spinners and sighs. "I was going to take them into evidence, but they weren't necessary for conviction. He never…
- Elsewhere in Revachol, the lieutenant has also just turned on the radio. In his privacy, he doesn't even try to stop himself from smiling.
- "But you're just fucking hateful. And I got no time for that shit. Anything else you need, or can I hang up?"
