- "Are you shitting me, Harry? Did you not really open the door and are now just telling me you did?" His lively eyes are mapping your face. "You're a wild one, Harry!"
- "Most certainly, Harry." The big man nods merrily. "Nothing brightens my day like brainstorming these things with you."
- "I'm very glad to hear that, Harry," he says with a smile. "One question: you didn't actually happen to stumble in and see what's inside the apartment, did you?"
- "Oh, of course. That's your main thing here. That's why you're in Martinaise." He nods. "I know everything that goes on around here and I would love to discuss it with you."
- "A fantastic change of heart, Harry!" He rubs his nose. "Go talk to Mañana down by the gates. He'll brief you and give you the key."

"Oh, Harry..." He shakes his head, smiling. "You don't need to get back to me. You need to open the door. Very simple, really."

"I bet it was, Harry." He says with a grimace -- then the smile dissipates. "But seriously, what did you see in his apartment?"

(Shake your head.) "Fascist insignia everywhere. Memorabilia calling for the Return to the Golden Age."
"That's exactly what I thought, Harry!" He slams his fist on the table. "What a weasel... And for the record, I was only curious, not testing you."

"Thank you, Harry. You have shown me that the Débardeurs' Union and the Citizens Militia can indeed work together." He nods solemnly. "Now, let's cut down to brass tacks."

"It's time for men like me and you to figure out who's killed who and why." He nods. "Real police work is gonna start happening now. I promise you, Harry, this is gonna be good."

- "Good talk. Let's conclude for now."
- "You mentioned a lawyergirl?"
- "There was a bullet in the hanged man's head."
- "Guess what? Not only was the hanging a cover-up -- it was orchestrated by a woman named Ruby."
- "In the future, I could use your backing. Can you ask the Hardie boys to cooperate?"
- "I've talked to the boys and it turns out the hanging was a cover-up. They were helping a woman named Klaasje."Remembered · 1
- "You said the lynching and the strike are related. How?"
- "There was a collection of colonial mugs there, and I found a similar mug in the trash with the hanged man's clothes."
- "How do you know the mercenaries were hired by the shipping company?"
- "I really went in there. Whose place is it? I just need to know."
- "Tell me about Titus Hardie and his crew."

"Was it a good talk?" He leans back, suddenly worried. "I'm not sure we made much headway here. I was hoping we'd bust the case wide open, heck, I even wanted to tell you what I really want to achieve with the strike..."

"I don't know what happened, Harry. I wanted you to feel like Mr. Martinaise! And, of course -- I also wanted you to find your gun." Great sadness comes over him. "But... it's like I can't completely trust you. Yet."

"Yes, Harry. It's like I can't fully trust you if you're not a man of the left," he says, slowly shaking his head. "I want to, but I just can't..."

- Kingsman? Yes! Please, let's be that.
- "Perfect, Harry! That's perfect!" he claps his hands. "My version of the left is not against the companies. It's with the companies. Honestly, what I have in mind is a business proposal. A left-wing business proposal, but still..."
- "What does your heart tell you about your lost gun, Harry? Does it tell you to forget about it? Or do you think it wants to be found?" He picks something from his teeth. "I think it's lonely and cold. I think it wants to be found and I have a proposal for you."

"As I said, it weighs on me heavily..." He bows his head in shame, then looks up and smiles: "But once we get really talking... well, I'm gonna hand you the keys to Martinaise! And maybe even help you figure out who's behind this killing."

"Perfectly acceptable." He smiles. "No one's gonna force you into anything, but I don't know about that gun of yours... You see, I'm a vengeful man, Harry. Part of how I got where I am is that, well -- I can be quite nasty sometimes."

"But the good news is, the moment you change your mind and want to look into this matter -- just tell me, and we'll be buddies again." He smiles pleasantly.
