[Cadence jots down some notes in the margins of Seth's file and circles them. Potential window.]
And are there a few missing patches in your memory? Or do some things just not go together? Don't answer yet. Liars, with a capital L, can make people believe anything. It's an ability. Elias could make you believe your eyes are on fire if he so pleased.
I'll have you know I haven't toked up in like, three days. I'm sober as an Olympic athlete that's not Michael Phelps.
[Because Cadence always has to top any and all witty quips. He picks up Seth's file.]
Multiple choice question: You're in love with Lillian Guinness. Yes, no, Cadence you're a stupid fuck, or holy shit I'm so in love with her I would gouge out my eyes with my fingernails and feed them to squirrels if she asked me to.
Let me guess. You're shy, you're a pushover, mild-mannered, harmless as a kitten. But Elias is an outgoing leader-type, vicious as he is scheming. Short-answer question: if you and Elias are identical twins, why don't you share many of the same personality traits?

Cadence shouts at Evelyn to pull the Delaney file.]
Delaney, huh? Son of that damn-near disgustingly wealthy entrepreneur? I think he owes me money.
[Ah, there's that file. He does owe the Wayward family money.]
You got a brother, Seth?

[And now Cadence has a horrible idea. He leans on his desk and smirks, tapping his phone rhythmically with one finger.]
Tell me, Seth, do you feel inferior to Elias? Even though he's your twin?

[Pause.]
Yeah. Sometimes.
[And by sometimes he means all the time.]

You have been totally mindfucked.

[Ughh. He answers anyways.]

Last option.
Though I hope she wouldn't ask me to do that.
