[hostage]

You ain't figured it out by now?

[payback]

I want to hear it from you.

[hostage]

What do you wanna hear? "I'm a criminal?" There you go.

[payback]

Well what did you do?

[hostage]

I'm a drug lord. What do you think?

[payback]

Ughhhh. [She has so little frame of reference for that, except from the Port. Rin paces in a jerky circle and rubs her hands over her face.]

Well then he should've sent you to jail for being a drug lord, not for killing some guy.

[hostage]

Well, whatever. I beat him at the game, anyway. For now.

[payback]

What! What are you expecting to happen here?!

[hostage]

What? He said he'd get me someday. I mean, I doubt it, but...

[payback]

So what's your plan here?

[hostage]

Plan?

[payback]

Yeah. Do you have a plan? What are you going to do?

[hostage]

Uh, no? Nothing. I dunno.

[payback]

Okay, so, turn it around! Stop doing the things that'd get you thrown in prison!

[hostage]

Hey, I didn't actually do what they said I did, remember?

[payback]

What are you even telling me here? I'm confused and this is just really stupid.

[hostage]

I ain't telling you anything. You're just yelling at me. Ugh, whatever... I'm too tired for this shit.

[He's going over to the couch now to... slump over it... Everything is worn out. He needs meth-fuel.]

[payback]

Yeah! You aren't telling me anything! Ugh, why am I even here... [She glares in his general direction and considers going over and giving him a kick for attempted catharsis, or something.]

[hostage]

[He's faceplanted in a cushion, so this is muffled:]

Why are you here? Just because of the tattoo? Edgeworth's fine, okay. I didn't do anything to him even though he fucked all my shit up...

[He says a few more things but it's all unintelligible.]

[payback]

If you want me to stop yelling at you why don't you try telling me what I want to know.

[hostage]

What? What do you want?

[payback]

[A blank pause.]

I want to know exactly what you did and everything it entails and if you're planning on keeping it up here and if not why were you worried about Edgeworth or are you.

[To start.]

[hostage]

[Now he picks his head up and looks back over at Rin.]

What, seriously?

[payback]

Yeah! I'm always serious!

[hostage]

Now? You want me to give you my whole comic book villain speech right now?
