[osreborn]

I can come by tomorrow.

[enigmaestro]

Morning.

[osreborn]

What's your rush?

[enigmaestro]

I have to distributed it, don't I?

[osreborn]

Fine. Tomorrow morning.

[enigmaestro]

Don't tease me like that, Norman.

[osreborn]

You're the one that's teasing.

[enigmaestro]

Because I'm not forthcoming in my personal plans?

[osreborn]

Yes.

[enigmaestro]

Hmm.

I could give you a riddle.

[osreborn]

I don't want a riddle.

[enigmaestro]

Wordplay by another name before a state of being;
the first in a hammy performance and, as a whole,
ended in not what was said but the intended.

[osreborn]

What did I just say?

[enigmaestro]

Have you ever known me to be obedient, Norman?

[But then again, he doesn't wish to jeopardize his goal here.]

I had to, honestly. For myself. It's a compulsion.

[osreborn]

And are there actually answers in there?

[enigmaestro]

No need to be rude, Norman. Of course, I've yielded to you my intent.

[osreborn]

I don't see what's rude about it.

[enigmaestro]

Surprise, surprise. Norman Osborn doesn't recognize his actions as rude! Quick, take it to print!

[osreborn]

Mind your tone. I haven't delivered your precious cargo yet.

[enigmaestro]

Ah.


You're quite correct.

[osreborn]

I don't suppose I'll get to witness it in action. You know it hasn't been tested.

[enigmaestro]

I have many opinions about you, Norman Osborn. But one is that you are a highly skilled chemist.

I don't fret over your ability to concoct it correctly.

[osreborn]

That's some comfort, at least. Your unwavering faith in me.

[enigmaestro]

I have a few unwavering things to invest in you.

[osreborn]

Just what I like to hear.

Or read.

Same difference really.
