Practice threading for Distant Skies!

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

"People" may not work in such stark terms. A "criminal," on the other hand, is a different story.

[keepyouwaiting]

Keep on believing that. I hope you don't have to figure out the truth the hard way.

Though if you do, I know a good attorney you can call.

[jurisimpudent]

Your jokes are idiotic; I'd never call you. ...But what is that to mean, "figure out the truth"? If you dare propose for a single moment I'd commit a crime...

[keepyouwaiting]

I'm speaking hypothetically, of course.

And hypothetically speaking, why would you hire anybody but the best in your time of need?

[jurisimpudent]

There won't be any time of need, imbecile!

[keepyouwaiting]

Let's hope not. You'd be a miserable client.

[jurisimpudent]

And I'd never accept help from a man like you. Ever!

[keepyouwaiting]

A man like me?

[jurisimpudent]

That's right.

[keepyouwaiting]

A vain and arrogant lothario with no respect for authority and the gall to defend suspected criminals.

[jurisimpudent]

That's right!

[keepyouwaiting]

Fair enough.

At least I know how to dress myself.

[jurisimpudent]

You look like a fool. And you're far too casual for the sacred ground of the courtroom.

[keepyouwaiting]

And you look like a cartoon prince.

[jurisimpudent]

I take that as a compliment.

[keepyouwaiting]

It's a well-known fact that ladies like bad boys better.

[jurisimpudent]

I don't care about "ladies."

[keepyouwaiting]

Clearly not.

[jurisimpudent]

...Or any relationships. You fussing over them like you do is your weakness.

[keepyouwaiting]

Fussing? Ha...! The human heart is built on relationships, boy. You can't stop "fussing" over them any more than you can make it stop beating.

[jurisimpudent]

I can.

[keepyouwaiting]

I'll believe that right after you get me to believe your bullshit about everybody being guilty.

[jurisimpudent]

It's not - what you said! If you don't understand the point of what I've said, then you're clearly still a child.

[keepyouwaiting]

I believe I'm a toothless old hound, actually.

[jurisimpudent]

Senile, then, and worthless. Try to break out of your sheltered blindness.
