Then we agree words are more effective than violence.

You're doing some lawyer nonsense! Entrapment! Yeah, this is entrapment!

When Trevor has the right words to convince me, I'll give him back his weapons.

Re: audio

[mycitynow]

If those right words are "may I please have my weapons back," I'm gonna personally find you and throw something at your head.

Re: audio

[ukan]

And I'd deserve it. Those aren't the words he needs.

Re: audio

[mycitynow]

Those aren't the words you think he needs. You don't know what he really needs. You're just making your best guess, same as everybody else. Distinction's important—you'd think a lawyer would know that already.

Re: audio

[ukan]

Oh, I just meant those aren't the words that will convince me to give them back.

You're right, I don't know what he really needs. But there's time for him to figure that out.

[ a pause before... ]

If I say 'pretty please' will you give him his weapons back?

Re: audio

[ukan]

Afraid not. I don't need anyone begging for them back, I just need him to make a compelling argument.

Re: audio

[mycitynow]

Screw you, I'm not begging. I'm asking nicely.

Re: audio

[ukan]

And I appreciate it. But until he has a compelling argument, things stay as they are.

[ There's a grumbling noise on Kyoko's end that suspiciously sounds like 'stupid jerkass lawyer.' ]

Whatever. But when shit goes south like it always does, I get to be the on to say 'I told you that ya should've given him his weapons back earlier.'
