If you want something done right...

Do it yourself, obviously.

Oh, no, no, no. That's always the first mistake.

Oh, is that so?

*points at her, twirling a finger* Are you doubting your dear Uncle Joker? *tuts* That's your second mistake.

You're not good at this, huh?

Doubting? Never.

Asking. Clarifying. Never doubting.

Perhaps I merely do things differently.

I've always hated clarification. Neatly checking all of the boxes just never sat well with me.

Differently? To me? Sure. But to everybody else? You're just the same. A check in the box.

To each his own.

Mistake number three. You're really bad at this. I should hire you.

Sorry. Currently under contract. And it's one of those annoying, unbreachable ones.

There's such a thing?

Oh yes.

That's news to me.

Strange, you don't look the type that's easily shocked.

Besides, you wouldn't want me working for you. I tend to leave awful messes behind.

*stares in fascination* You're not right

*grins at her* The correct term would be 'freak', sweetheart. Show a little sensitivity.

*giggles* Nothing you attempt will ever come to pass

That's for you to decide?

*shakes her head* Not a decision. That's just how it is.

I think I'll take my chances.

*smiles again and nods* good luck *giggles and leaves*

You mean 'they'.

...Then what?

That would be telling.

Oh, it's a secret.

A trade secret. It'd hardly be fair is everybody knew.

Then it'd be a good idea to keep that a secret as well as plans, then others can't mess them up. That's what my father said.

And doesn't daddy always know best?

Perhaps. He said it's because in the movies, the villains always get caught because they tend to blab out their plans before actually executing them.

I'm insulted! What makes you think I'm not the hero of this picture?

*eyes widen* Oh no! That's not what I meant to insinuate, I merely meant that was my father's reasoning as to why you didn't tell people your plans. It can make sense for anyone.
