Dialogue
402- The same two neon lit shapes -- a man and a woman. A ray of backward motion explodes from…
- This is the door to the pinball workshop that you left barred on the inside.
- Just as you look at the flowers, a gust of wind raises them from the roof, picking them…
- The elevator stands open, inviting you to step inside.
- All these mesmerizing machines, just waiting to be plugged back in and played.
- You can almost see the shape of a man and a woman, writhing inside -- bathed in drug…
- So this is where they brought faulty pinball machines to fix them up -- a long time ago…
- You clearly see footprints in the downy carpet of dust covering the workshop floor.
- Soft, light brown eyes look back at you, directly into the space behind your eye sockets…
- "Titus Hardie gave me a recording. On it, the deceased says he intends to rape someone."
- "What was what?"
- You made the right call there. It feels good. Pure.
- Six crumbling petals rest on your palm. They're white, a bell-shaped crown.
- "You think this will make them cooperate?"
- The porta-reel is just what you needed -- the reels attach to the apparatus with a…
- "Okay." She puts her coffee mug on the table.
- Wait, stop -- that man, bloated beyond all recognition, was 42?
- A warm column of air rises around you, encircling the building you stand on. You feel its…
Notes
461- "Good call..." The lieutenant is still unsteady on his feet.
- "You wanna talk? Let's talk, boys." His eyes meet yours. "Ask them."
- "Don't well me. This might be fine by you but it certainly isn't fine by me. We've got to try to nip this kind of behaviour in the bud."
- (Turn to Kim.) "Fuck it, we don't need the other one. You said that you're more of a Pissf****t kinda guy, so I got the jacket for you!"
- (Turn to Kim.) "Since you said you're more of a 'Pissf****t' kinda guy, I'll take the other one."
- "If you got something else to ask from them, do it now and let's move on. I don't want to waste any more time here."
- "Pick a better time, officer." The lieutenant's voice rings cold and certain. "After we've dealt with these wannabe cop-killers."
- (Turn to Kim.) "Remember when I said I'd like the 'Pissf****t' one? I got it -- you can have the other one!"
- (Turn to Kim.) "Remember when I said I'd like the 'Pissf****t' one? I got it! Wish I'd gotten the other one for you..."
- "No, I am not having a stroke. You're just... still full of surprises. Most of them bad, but some good..."
- "I am not un-impressed. Let's leave it at that."
- "Yes. I'm alright." He pauses to compose himself. "Can we get going now?"
- "You are brutal and dumb." He says, his voice ice cold.
- "I don't think there's anything to discuss." [Leave.]
- "Because I have a problem with homo-sexuals. Major problem."
- "Good call, detective," he says, still looking at the ocean. "You can lose your mind trying to mediate everything these delinquents come up with. Fate will t…
- "Wonderful," the lieutenant says, still looking at the ocean. "Revachol really needed another cop-for-hire. Maybe later we can go and get some doughnuts?"
- "I can see there's more to this story, detective," he says quietly. "But you're not the first corrupt cop in the RCM."
