And i'm the alcoholic who craves it for breakfast.

I could think of worse things.

[riddleman]

To have for breakfast? Oh, yes. In your case, orange juice without vodka must seem like a travesty.

[beaky]

Right now I'm living off jerky and cola. And there is some constant insistence that I try something called pop rocks.

I hate my life a lot.

[riddleman]

Don't mix the pop rocks with the cola.

What else is new?

[beaky]

Well, before I hated my life but I had money.

Now I don't and an assassin wants to torture me slowly to death. So that is kind of new.

[riddleman]

Then make some money. That's what I did, even while I was dumb.

And I'm sure a lot of people have wanted to torture you slowly to death all your life. Promise.

Zsasz?

[beaky]

I am but first I have to put a very big bomb in a very stupid place for the sake of a joke.

Of course, he believes I killed Don Falcone. Like an idiot.

[riddleman]

Huh. I can't help but wonder if you couldn't have teamed up with someone else instead.

Anyway. I knew you didn't kill Don Falcone. I assume Zsasz is being played. He's not much of a thinker. Very professional though.

[beaky]

I'm having fun so I don't know. I don't care. I had some amusing times with Jerome and Jervis, surprisingly.

True. No one was thinking much apparently if they'd think I'd be that stupid. I'm glad someone got it.

[riddleman]

You have your moments of stupidity, but I assume that in case of Don Falcone, you'd have been unlikely to let emotions overrule your shrewdness.

Don't let Zsasz get you. I still have dibs.

[beaky]

All the boys in my life are trying to murder me.

I sometimes wonder why my mother spend so much time warning me about women when men are clearly more dangerous.

[riddleman]

You just tend to get more intense with men. Your mother couldn't see that coming. Although she really should have.

But I don't intend to murder you anymore.

[beaky]

Do you think i have a gay quality?

Perfection! One down, several other men to survive.

[riddleman]

You are gay quality. And, more seriously, no, I just think you are gay.

My money would be on Zsasz.

[beaky]

I am indeed. I was just wondering, Jim was making weird comments earlier.

Mine too.

[riddleman]

Oh, right. Jimbo just doesn't want to discuss your crush on him, so that's fun.

If you can expose Sofia, Zsasz would turn on her.

[beaky]

It's quite amusing, yes. I just put it out there to stop him. He also thinks you have a gay quality.

I know but I don't know how to prove it.

[riddleman]

Of course he does, that happens all the time. Good to know that some things never change.

I could probably come up with a way.

[beaky]

I would have told him you were straight but that's your business.

I know you could but we don't work together, do we?

[riddleman]

As you've said, we are nothing to each other anymore. Unless you need a Bloody Mary.

[beaky]

I do.

I really, really, REALLY do.

[riddleman]

Then you know where to find me.

Friend.

[beaky]

That's very true.

Friend.
