Vayne: Perhaps you place undue trust in your fellow man.
Gizel: Ah, but that's where I see the beauty in it. The uncertainty of my schemes' success is what drives me to continue employing them. [stirs the tea.] I would have accepted loss.
Vayne: Surely then your world is more forgiving than mine, your Senate more hens than hawks, pecking at the grain and not the hare that feeds upon it.
Gizel: Oh, no, they're hawks--lamed hawks.
Vayne: [sips his tea] But they still have wit.
Gizel: [...considers, also drinks]
Vayne: The gleam of the amusement you derive at their expense--and at yours, I presume, and presume correctly--shines also on your weakness. It is a disservice to you, and your own, and to those who depend upon your rule.
Gizel: My father said the same thing.
Vayne: I am not surprised.

Sheffield: [smiles invitingly at Vayne] You might be interested, then. In fact, we could use someone like you. You see, implying the idea of man actually having any kind of control in our society is kind of a coroprate taboo. It's all God this, God that--as if we could blame all our troubles on anyone by ourselves. Well, not all of us. A...select few of us get it. But if you say anything like that at the Project, you know, suddenly fire and brimstone and a dysmorphic battle-ax of an administrator--
Vayne: Fascinating. I'll look up your work.
Sheffield: Excellent.
Vayne: Do you publish under--
Sheffield: Oh, no, under my full name. Sergei Sheffield.
Vayne: How do you spell--young man, Lord Yagami, you are the closer. Do you mind?
Light: -- [puts down the teacup, picks up the pen.]

Light's Internal Monologue: This man reeks of--he's a criminal, he's the worst kind of criminal, he's unrepentant and sociopathic and non-discriminating and he can't be used, he's too capable. If he lives, it's not just a threat to the world, it's a threat to my position in it, my place in it--he is an obstacle--he is an obstruction--there's no justice in what he--
Seishirou: That's some Object of Power you've got there.
Light's Internal Monologue: --shit.
Seishirou: Mind if I have a look?
Ryuk: Ohoho, this is precious. How're you getting out of this one, Light?
Light: [aloud] Sure. [slides the Death Note over] Careful, though. You seem to know what it's capable of.
Ryuk: Heh heh heh heh.
Seishirou: [thumbs the cover of the Death Note, raises an eyebrow considerately, looks up, nods politely at Ryuk.] There, now it's a bit clearer.
Light's Internal Monologue: OH SHIT OH SHIT SHIT SHIT.Light: So ( ... )

Light: [checks his watch]
Light's Internal Monologue: ...two...one...oh shit, he's not...it's been forty-five...six...seven--
Seishirou: ^_^
Sheffield: [faceplants into his coffee, dead] x_x
Vayne: Smartly done.
Light: [tries not to think of that as adulation and brushes it off as best he can] He is a nuisance, and that was your call.
Albert: Hm.
Gizel: [fears for his life and doesn't let it show]
Seishirou: ^_^
Light: [slides the pen back into the book, closes it, looks enqiringly at a deck of cards] Should we resume?
Vayne: It will be a more pleasant game without his ceaseless bluffing. [slides the deck to Albert] Your deal.
Seishirou: [continues to ^_^]
Gizel: [accepts his cards with a smile. to Light:] Don't you find that unsporting?
Light: I don't kill for sport. And he didn't deserve any better.
Light's Internal Monologue: What did the one-eyed man do to my Death Note?
Seishirou: Yagami-kun, would you please pass the cookie tray?
Light: Uh, sure.
