Perhaps you have other men in your hire? Ones who aren't 'allies'.
[A soft smile, trite.]
Ones who may have been accessories to murder and madmen also... or ones who will become madmen, after you've given them to my care. There are a few little things I've been wishing to test....
I doubt you'd find this trade unreasonable?
[Money is always good too, but that's what he has Bane for. Protection and money.
Everything was coming along nicely. Not a single bat in the night to ruin it.]
...Their handsome faces melt off, just as yours did, and show what truly lies beneath. Someone with high ideals falls the hardest when they're forced to open their eyes to the true nature of the world. His day will come; and unlike those of use with a strong mind, he will likely succumb to pestilence and weakness in the face of it.
He may have the last laugh, Mr. Schmidt. But it will be from within a cell.
