[ The lighting isn't good, but it's clear enough that Harvey Dent is recognizable in the frame. Who else could that be, really? He looks surly, but on his good side his mouth almost seems to be smirking. ]

I hope whoever tried to call the law on me without evidence remembers that every story has two sides. My record's clean and so are my hands.

[When he asks about her age, she has to wonder if she has been a little too open—but he seems like someone it would be fine to speak a little more frankly to. In any case, there's no unnecessary hesitation or odd pause before she gives her answer.]
I'm fourteen.
[That's the official number, so that's the one she gives him for now.]
no subject
But some people do. ]
We should talk again.
[ Not where other people can listen, that is. ]
no subject
I'd really like that! [Where other people can't hear, naturally.] I can talk anytime, as long as it's not during school or church.
[Clearly, she is an upstanding young woman.]
no subject
It'll work out.
