Why do you call him a halfling? He's half what? Half ghost, half something else? Or two types of ghosts?
Not that it matters to you, but the whelp is a hybrid between human and ghost. Which makes him almost one of a kind. And perfectly suited for my collection.
Donatello just filled another drawer full of stuff in that file cabinet he's been keeping on Danny.]
Oh. Well, I haven't seen him, so I suppose you'll have to just kidnap me and see if he comes out to play. I'm really good at screaming, I'll have you know.

So I'll just put my hands up and you can cuff me or whatever you want.
