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…
- "Who the fuck is that?"
- "Hello again, sweetie." Her grey eyes shine above the rims of her glasses.
- The crumpled SAMARAN BUTTER billboard still soaks in the canal, marked by tyre tracks.
- "Officer, the flashlight please."
Notes
461- "Any halfway competent notary should be able to handle this. Not getting their actual signatures was probably the best thing to do."
- Lieutenant Kitsuragi's stern expression remains unchanged -- but you sense he can't be happy about this turn of events.
- The lieutenant tries to remain impassive but the slight arch of his eyebrow tells you that he's liking it.
- "Fuckin' A, Kim. I've got your back." (Give the lieutenant a punch on the shoulder.)
- "He's right. You're undermining our best shot at real self-determination."
- "Right. I have to get back to my homework now, before Mum notices. Man, this is hard..." She looks back at the infernal scribblings under her nose.
- "Wonderful." The lieutenant falls silent. His expression is hard to read, but it certainly doesn't look happy. Then he speaks...
- "I'm going to stop this conversation." He makes a sudden hand gesture. An open palm. "This is Martinaise. People have certain attitudes here. You will find p…
- "Well," he says after taking a moment to collect himself. "You've made your views on the subject quite clear..." Another little pause.
- "Let's go." The lieutenant nods at you.
- "I thought this was a lousy way to enter a place of worship that's already in disrepair. I guess the church agreed."
- "Good god, detective! What's wrong with you?"
- "Yes, only the detective here would draw a connection between a made-up division of para-psychics and the addled ramblings of a defunct communist mage..."
- The lieutenant doesn't speak, but you believe you detect a slight widening of his eyes, as though he never expected such a cogent thought to emerge from your…
- "Thank god we avoided that fiasco, at least..."
- "I suppose that would be something to see." The lieutenant seems amused at the thought of you wrestling a bear.
- "But you made the right decision, the more difficult decision, in my mind, at least."
- "But you did accomplish your task. You reached the Coalition. I must admit, I didn't seriously think you could do it, but you've proved me wrong."
