You know, we have a lot of really talented people here. Not that we didn't before -- us imports have always been pretty on top of things, but I think it goes without saying that without the talent and skill of everyone, there'd probably be a few of us that would be dead right about now. Or at least we'd have died. So, I don't think anyone's said it yet, but thanks, to everyone who helped get us out of there.

[ And there's a pause there, he's trying to be nice, and his ego is suffering. ]

I'd like to say we could have done it ourselves, but... well, you can't always predict for unpredictability, and getting us quickly could have been what saved our lives.

But, that's not the only reason I'm here. It's been a busy couple of weeks, not just from our unfortunate attempt to go to space, but for me personally. [ He indicates behind him, it's obviously an office, more strewn with metal and wires and parts than anything else. It's, frankly, an absolute mess. ] I got the loan a few weeks ago, but other than a few people I've gotten in on the ground floor, we haven't had much opportunity for hiring. Startups are always complicated.

But I'm happy to say, that if you want to work in tech and R&D, you should probably come talk to me. I can't promise high wages -- yet -- but I take care of my people, and with a few choice inventions, we'll be able to hit the ground running, and I'd like to see anyone with talent come talk to me. I promise, you won't regret it.

At least, you won't if you don't mind working for me.

Why, y'the kinda guy that gets attached easy?

[liverletdie]

Miss Crawley, does my reputation not proceed me? I'm the exact opposite.

[glassbox]

Maybe you're overestimatin' your reputation. Then again -- [ You can almost verbally hear her shrug. ] -- I am Canadian. Sometimes I forget t'pay a whole lotta attention t'American supers.

[liverletdie]

I guess I am. I thought everyone knew I'm more of a leave in the morning kind of person.

[glassbox]

Guess I know now.

[liverletdie]

Fair enough. It's been a long time since I've had to outright say it.

It's kind of a nice change of pace.

[glassbox]

Probably could've figured it myself. Y'did kinda seem that way when we met at that Halloween party, I s'pose.

[liverletdie]

You suppose?

I'm almost a bit touched. I mean, that impression is hard to get past.

[glassbox]

T'be fair, every time we catch each other, I already got my interest somewhere else, y'know?

[liverletdie]

And believe me, I'm feeling the loss. It's a shame, but hopefully whoever has your attention is grateful for what he has.

[glassbox]

Aw, that's sweet, Tony.

[liverletdie]

Well, you know, I don't say anything I don't mean. It is a shame, but... I hope you're at least happy, right? Even without Frank?

[glassbox]

I'm tryin' t'be. An' I got a good man lookin' after me. Ain't a lot else a gal can ask for.

[liverletdie]

Oh yeah? Do I know him?

[glassbox]

Probably. Y'seem like the kinda guy that knows most folks. Matt Murdock?

[liverletdie]

Oh. Yeah, I know Matt. That's...interesting. He's a lucky guy.

[glassbox]

Interestin'? How d'you figure that?

[liverletdie]

I just didn't figure you the type to be into lawyers, is all.

[ That's it entirely ]

[glassbox]

I ain't really. Maybe jus' the blind ones.

[liverletdie]

Oh yeah? Blind lawyer type? I mean, there are worse ones, but...

[glassbox]

Or. Maybe I've jus' been with so many brunettes lately, I figured I've give a redhead a go.

[liverletdie]

There is that too. How's it working out for you?

not here

[notdaredevil]

[Yeah Tony, how do you figure that?]

not here

[liverletdie]

[ WELL MAYBE IF YOU'D ASK HE'D TELL YOU ]

not here

[notdaredevil]

[MAYBE THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN AMICABLE CONVERSATION WHICH IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON.

ALSO MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP HITTING ON HIS GIRLFRIEND YOU ASSHOLE.]
