Curiouser and curiouser. I don't think I've ever heard a reporter render me speechless before.

I'm off duty, Mr. Wayne.

And again. I didn't think any of your elk ever considered yourselves off duty. At least, that's been my experience.

I'm sure my boss would not approve of this but we all need time off sometimes.

Considering who your boss it, I wouldn't doubt there would be some measure of displeasure.

She's not... bad.

How very diplomatic of you, Mr. Kent.

I- How do you know me, Mr. Wayne?

I make it my business.

To know cub reporters from the Daily Planet?

To know people of interest, Mr. Kent. People who interest me.

How could I possibly interest you?

I appreciate the evasiveness but frankly, for a reporter, your skills in the area are sorely lacking.

What do you know about my skills, Mr. Wayne?

Nothing that you haven't already displayed publicly. As a reporter.

I have only written smaller pieces, I don't understand why someone like you would be so interested in me.

Don't you?

No.

Why don't you explain that to me.

I don't see any reason to play coy, Mr. Kent. It's attractive on short blondes, not on you.

We've never met, Mr. Wayne, I don't understand what you are talking about.

~~Does that mean you know Chloe?~~

No, but I've read quite a bit about you in the paper. Your articles, of course.

Well. Bruce Wayne. Long time no see.

Ah, Oliver. I should be surprised that you'd come running to Mr. Kent's rescue but somehow, I'm not. You two are used to that from what I understand.

*And he's going to pause, let that one settle for a minute, give a long clearing of his throat.*

Especially considering some of Queen Industries more questionable business practices lately.

Tell me, how were the enchiladas and tequila shots? Mexico, so cliched these days.

It's not. But I've learned to read between the lines. You really have to these days, considering all the different things flying around, wouldn't you agree?
