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.

- "No sirree." He shakes his head.
- He nods in agreement with this advanced piece of conceptualization. Having mulled it over the lieutenant says: "That sounds about right, yes."
- "We should go talk to the locals, find something else to do while the wind changes. It's pretty bad right now."
- "He is." He points to the corpse.
- He would follow you into death itself... and you would do the same for him.
- "My colleague has an exploratory sense of humour. Don't hold it against him."
- It's good we discussed your history with her, he thinks. I can play along.
- We should have discussed your history before we came here, he thinks. So many unpleasant surprises with this guy...
- You catch the lieutenant's side-glance, but he doesn't say anything.
- "Go ahead," she remarks sharply, "call people rude things. We've heard worse here. Now are you interested or not?"
- The lieutenant sighs at your flagrant misogyny.
- "... and neither have you. Had you let me in on the script of this play before you performed it, I could have gone along. As it stands, the entire line of qu…
- "You." The lieutenant turns to you. "If you were intending to use an unorthodox questioning technique for this branch of the investigation -- which, by the w…
