Ventures. Ought to be in the papers again before too long.

You got any notion why someone's using your face to rob banks with?

[devoutish]

Why's this your business?

[blackhat]

This from the nosiest son of a bitch on the network.

[devoutish]

Lofty claim. What did I do to earn it?

[blackhat]

You ask a lot of questions, Alfie.

I take it the answer to mine is that you have no earthly idea.

[devoutish]

This is fun, neither of us answering the other's questions. How long do you think we can keep it going?

[blackhat]

That was the answer. 'You ask a lot of questions.' Congress isn't voting on this shit.

[devoutish]

Ah, yeah. I do. But a lot of 'em aren't very personal questions, are they. And even when they are, I've found that many people are all too willing to talk.

[blackhat]

Doesn't look like too many of 'em are in a rush to clear your name, either.

[devoutish]

And what would the say? "He can't have done it; he made conversation on the network"?

[blackhat]

Maybe if you really got to know them. Made a few friends, a few allies. But the only one making a peep now is some dumbass detective.

So why do you bother? You just curious? Bored?

[devoutish]

Even the best of friends aren't always proper alibis, mate. It takes more than friendship to make a case.

[blackhat]

Sure as hell doesn’t hurt.

[devoutish]

Well, it's nice that you're offering, mate, but I don't rightly know you.

[His sarcasm is mild and undramatic, but it's there.]
