I got work to do, ma'am. I don't have time for whatever it is you're cooking up in that head of yours, and I sure as hell ain't goin' nowhere, unless it's back to New York to finish the job I was hired to do. Long and short of it. Sorry to disappoint.

Booker? Whatever are you doing?

[persolvo]

Beg your pardon, miss?

[bookedher]

[ She frowns. ]

Alice, Booker. I am Alice.

[persolvo]

Forgive me, but I can't say as I recognize the name. I meet a lot of people.

[bookedher]

[ Another frown, deeper this time. ]

Alisanna Hale-DeWitt, Booker.

[persolvo]

... This some kind of joke? Who are you?

[bookedher]

Who do I look like?

[persolvo]

Listen, lady, I don't have time or patience for games or bein' messed around. Now, I know my family tree real well, and I know you ain't on it, so tell me who you are.

[voliere]

You're going to New York?

[persolvo]

I thought we talked about this.

[voliere]

You never said we were still going!

[persolvo]

I never said we weren't. 'Specially after you nearly took my head off with that wrench.

[voliere]

You can go by yourself. I'm not going.

[persolvo]

New York or not, Elizabeth, we've gotta go somewhere.

[voliere]

You're the one who suggested Paris in the first place, Mr. DeWitt, so I suggest you keep your promises.

[persolvo]

I never promised anything. I had a job, and I was doing it. Now, whether or not we even get out of Columbia is the real question.

[voliere]

[ SIGH. ] I only wish I could open tears like I used to. It would be so much easier. I could get us out of this mess without any fuss.
