[His brows furrow. He glances around, but it's contemplative.]
Let him write something. In his own handwriting. Doesn't have to be a sentence. Doesn't even have to be a word. A letter. Only something he'd know. The two people he told me to get a message to before. Their initials. He'll know.
[Okay, what is messed up is this is what he wanted, but also? He is a paranoid Bat, and he hates how easy and simply this is going. Why the fck is he so suspicious?!]
Sure. But I'd probably accuse you of lying about a lot of things anyway.
[Well, now he isn't sure what to do with himself. A lot of Jason's problem is he is ready for resistance because it's familiar, and he expects it. So when he does not get that... then what?! THEN WHAT?!]
...Thanks, I guess. Maybe I should save it until I get what I asked for.
Dying itself doesn't terminate the contract, but if you haven't provided sufficient entertainment by then, you will be considered to have failed to fulfill the terms outlined.
That's convenient when half of us don't remember shit-all about the contract except for a few more important pieces. Am I gonna have to request that too?

I want proof our hostages are actually there. I want to know it's not a fluke. And if anyone gives me an eye or an ear, I'm gonna be angry.
no subject
... Well, that seems a little contradictory. What other kind of proof would you expect, in that case?

Okay. Expect something within the next few days. No eyes or ears involved, I assure you.
no subject
I thought you'd put up more of a fight about it.
no subject
Why would we argue about proving that the hostages are real?
no subject
I mean, you guys are evasive about most of the rest.

No need for thanks. We're just carrying out our responsibilities as staff, for better or for worse.
no subject
That doesn't sound very great. You got your arm tied behind your back too? I guess you'll tell me that's confidential.

[He does not sound shocked.]
There any fine print I missed in the agreement? It said entertainment, but how far does that go? Does dying mean it's terminated?
no subject
no subject
[A joke.]
How the hell are we supposed to know what's sufficient entertainment and what isn't? Like, you got a little Skelly Poll that gives us ratings?

It's weird we have to request it, and you didn't just give us a copy in our little goodie bag when we got here. You don't think that's weird? At all?

I'd wager there are few jobs in the world where one doesn't.

Oh. Hope your boss hasn't bugged the place. That'd be awkward.

After you went through the trouble of helping me and everything. [It doesn't sound like he's worried.] Oh--
You able to tell me what to do with this?
[He will pull the hotel-stamped ticket out of his pocket and wave it. Not the second one, the one first.]
