[Wheels in and hands him a bottle of water]

*stares* *its the ipod bot!*

....Thanks?

*accepts water* I was kind of hoping for something alcoholic but...*shrugs*

WAaaall-Eeee. [Holds out hand]

*hesitates before accepting hand* ....Harvey.

....Nice to meet you...Walley?

[Repeats for conformation] HaaaaRveeee?

*nods mutely* How are you Walley?

I hear that.

....When you think that people have suprised you for the last time, the sheer stupidity our race manages to summon in the face of something that's going to help them or perhaps-

*shakes head*...Thanks.

Sounds like it's that kind of week.

Beer? *offers*

....*hesitates before nodding mutely* Not on the clock-why the hell not?

*is moderately calmer after downing most of it* ...I knew it was going to be hard but I thought people'd embrace the change y'know? Ever realize that for all your belief people are sometimes as dumb as they actually look.

People don't take change well. At all. *drinking a beer of his own* You'd think they would, but even ...

Change makes people to do really fucking stupid things.

...It's nessescary. It's vital. It's a part of life. And we need it otherwise we become stagnant and we die out.

I can't let that happen to Gotham. I won't let that happen.

*suddenly thinks Harvey sounds like his father*

It's inevitable. Something's going to change. Kids grow up, if nothing else. Ideas change, ways of life. New ideas, new...

Not all changes should be embraced, but not all changes should be met with furious and pointless denial, either.

Thank you.

That's the problem with the people I work with. Any number of people could-could pee in a fucking cup and they'd call it wine but I offer them cold water and they-they throw it to the side and say it's disgusting!

Hmph. You sound like my father.

I know that feeling.

....I think everybody deals with it at some point *sighs* It's a shame I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

What happened?

....I lost a case and a man who I know is guilty is going to go free because of it.

Oh, I am sorry to hear that. How did he get off?

He bribed a judge. Gotham City judges are...more corrupt then most.

Which is actually okay, because now that I know Garlan is in the Mob's pocket I can get him for it.

Well that is really discouraging, isn't it?

Thata boy. Are you going to be able to get him, or will another judge get him off?

*gets a very dark look in his eyes. Determination in spades*

...Not if I can help it.

*recovers almost instantly and smiles* You fall you get back up. Way of the world miss...

*An eyebrow rose at the look, but she smiled anyway.*

Well I am certainly rooting for you. It's good to see one of the good guys, even a lawyer.

*Chuckling, she winked.*

*politician grin*

...I'm living proof we're not all bad. I appreciate the support. You live in Gotham?

You are, walking, talking proof. No, I live in New York, heard of Gotham though.

....Damn.

....I could use all the constituancy I can in Gotham.

...I've been to New York a couple of times. What part are you from?

Sorry, but I am not sure I am looking for a location change. I've heard what goes on in Gotham.

Brooklyn, now anyway. I'm originally from upstate.

A drink makes everything better.

No

~~Yes...~~

...Fuck it. You're totally right.

cants head and stares Neither can I.

Bad day, Mr. Dent?

....Nothing I won't be able to handle .~~Eventually~~

Anything I can do?

You and me both.

Sometimes it's the only answer.

I believe there's a logical solution to my problems. Alcohol just happens to be around.
