Harvey, what have we discussed about making promises you only half-mean to keep?

Criminal by whose standards? We reject the definition of the common herd.

"Her." I wonder who you mean.

[gothams_dent]

*mutters* None of your damn business.

[arkhams_dr]

Well, isn't that productive. Come on, Harvey. You know you can tell me anything.

[gothams_dent]

Oh, please. I've had your "therapy" before. You take what people feel and you use it against them. I've no reason to trust you as far as I could throw you.

I think this is early Shatter - he's still bitter about the fear gas in his office and the Key-17.

[arkhams_dr]

Why not trust me? You have nothing to lose, after all.

[gothams_dent]

You know, shitty as my life is, I'd rather not die at the moment and I don't trust you not to try to kill me or turn me into some kind of mind-warped vegetable.

[arkhams_dr]

You're already warped. Why would I want to kill you? I'm only trying to help.

...after all, you see how dear Nadine is helping you.

[gothams_dent]

You have a funny definition of the word 'help'. You tried to annihilate all of Gotham City. You -- attacked --- Rachel. You -- know what you've done to Nadine. *gritting his teeth, getting angrier as he speaks, hardly able to get the words out* Trust you like hell.

[arkhams_dr]

*leans over, definite malice in his voice* And I see just how much you dislike having Nadine in her current state, where she has no problem comforting you, caring for you, hiding you here. Oh, yes, you're so opposed to her now.

As for that little bi- let's let the dead lie in peace. She wasn't right for you, Harvey. She'd have hated you now. She was using what she thought you were. She wouldn't have wanted your real self, the one we can all see. She was limited. Not like us.

[gothams_dent]

Us?

*disgusted look*

I'm nothing like you, Crane.

[arkhams_dr]

Oh, but you are. You certainly are now. You can see, where the rest of them are blind.

[gothams_dent]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[arkhams_dr]

Vision, Harvey, vision. You can see the false little world all those fools live in for the lie it is.

[gothams_dent]

So what?

[arkhams_dr]

Just like me, Harvey, you see so much more clearly now.

I notice you're ignoring my point about my Nadine, too.

[gothams_dent]

What good does it do me?

*still ignores the point about Nadine*
