And why should it always be about what "they" want? Not old enough to decide things for yourself, Detective?
Who exactly do you think I'm referring to? [Serious]
Does it really matter? The ubiquitous they always comes down to one thing: caring too much what other people think.
If you start to lose sight of the group, you lose sight of the individual. It's all connected.
[He leans back ever so slightly] I'm just curious about which they you think I'm referring to.

[ eye. roll. r u srs rn. ]
Let's see. You're a cop: maybe your mundane's following a theme, and they refers to Anatole's less-than-legal element. [ a saccharine smile. seeing as how she might wind up being part of said element. ]

[He so serious. He took his lessons from wayne. Bruce Wayne in seriousness. And commissioner Gordon, but that's beside the point.]
[At that however, there is a hint-the barest hint of amusement but you would have to be really good at reading people's faces.] There's a less then legal element? I had no idea.

[ with monotone humor: ] Rather a poor police officer, if you're that unobservant.
The first rule of interrogation is let the suspect speak first.
And suddenly this is an interrogation. Should've guessed that regular old social skills didn't come naturally to you boys in blue.
[delicate hands up] interrogation's just another word for conversation. I'm amazed that a criminal's been able to talk to me civilly.
[Except he's really not. Because. Reasons.]

[Dracula has just given up and is bringing over a giant box of donuts for you and your headmates, dude. Save a bearclaw for his brother.]
Ehm...blame my mun. Something about feeding people. I never know with her. Best get to them before a Homer Simpson wanders in.
A criminal. [ she scoffs ] Because we're all wild and lawless lowlifes the moment we tow the line, aren't we? Threats to the idyllic little portrait you've all painted of our little city.

[His expression is hard and grim.]
Do you want me to cuff you?
[It'd be a fight for the ages.]

[perhaps you could paint it on a sign sir, ten feet high so his writer would get it.]
I'm less concerned about me and more concerned about her. She doesn't know what she's getting into.

Most boys wait a few dates before getting that forward, Detective. [ SMIRKITY SMIRK SMIRK SMIRK ]
[AH-A-AHA-look at him...not laughing. Barely smiling. Why so serious John.]
Dinner and dancing or the Gotham Hope Diamond? [HE KNOWS YOU CAT-LADY.]

A lady doesn't tell.
[ good thing she's
hardly a 'lady' ]

[snort] A lady wouldn't. But you?
[Slow, small, smile.] One hint?

He can smile after all.
Is this part of your interrogation technique too, hmm? Begging for scraps?
