For god's sake, girl. Sleep, and stop wasting your time with this.

It's nonsense, but you already knew that.

[ropedin]

I know.

But they are sinister, subtle influences.

[retropolis]

You're hardly in a position to worry about my influences at the moment, I think.

[ropedin]

Are you trying to goad me into going along with this?

[retropolis]

[ This makes it sound like they're going to go committing hate crimes........ ]

I think the city streets could use you. And-- you might well enjoy the experience. The challenge of it.

[ropedin]

Do you not think it's a lost cause?

[ Come on they're not that bad...................... ]

[retropolis]

[ I'D HOPE NOT. ]

I think there's still some hope out there. We just have to try a little harder and keep working together.

[ropedin]

I suppose so. You were the organizer.

[retropolis]

That's right. So don't you think you should trust my insight more?

[ropedin]

[ A long, long silence. ]

Perhaps.

[retropolis]

[ With slight bitter amusement: ]

That's more commitment than I could usually get out of you.

[ropedin]

[ His eyes might roll. Maybe. ]

You sound like you're complaining again.

[retropolis]

I'm pointing something out. It's not a-- it just is.

[ropedin]

It is. It's not that distasteful, is it?

[retropolis]

I think you know my feelings on that well enough.

[ropedin]

I do, you speak often on it.

[retropolis]

You know, I shouldn't have to.

[ropedin]

You're right, you shouldn't.

[ He is the worst boyfriend... ]

[retropolis]

[ YES HE IS. ]

Sometimes I think you'd like it better if I didn't speak at all.

[ropedin]

There are better things to do.

[retropolis]

[ Hrmph. ]

We don't all take the mystery men title so literally.

[ropedin]

No, but I do. [ His hood stays Nelly :( ]

[retropolis]

Doesn't it ever get tiring?

[ropedin]

[ MOUTHY NELSON. ]

In what way?

[retropolis]

Hiding all the time...

[ Like he can really talk but... ]

[ropedin]

It's not like that.

[ So he says. ]
