~~Spins office roll-a-dex.~~

And dinner tonight is... sub sandwiches.

Sub sandwiches? I thought you would eat steak for dinner.

Steak houses don't tend to deliver.

Good point. Take out Taxi?

Speaking of dinner... what are your favorites?

I need something that's fairly clean and that delivers. Another long night at the office ahead.

She grinned. Anything that isn't take out.

hmm... give me a little while before you order a sub.

Mr. Killian. *straightens glasses * Aren't you a little far from Boston?

Aye. What's a few hours' drive?

Precisely. What is a few hours' drive? Not much at all. And there's so much to see in Boston. Like Boston College for instance. So many co-eds commute to the campus from the city - it's a wonder that untoward things don't happen more often. But they do happen.

I don't believe I got your name.

I don't believe you'll have the voice left to say it after you're done screaming, but it's Crane. Doctor Jonathan Crane.

Dr.Crane, was that meant to be a threat? What have I done to you?

I believe you're interfering with my patient's progress. I take my practice very seriously. Deadly seriously, if you will.

How am I interfering with your patient's progress?

Let me explain this in layman's terms for you. Gotham is...different, and if you value your body parts and family members you will stay out of it.

You're crazy. All of this over a patient? You come making threats to someone you barely know? Dr.Crane, if that's who you are, I am doing nothing wrong with your patient. I'm delivering a meal for a friend, possibly hanging out for just a bit. What is the harm in that?

I'll decide who's crazy around here. *gets a bit shrill, then composes himself*

Mister Fitzpatrick, I'm the trained professional in this situation. Feel free to come "hang around," but you may be left hanging in more ways than one.

Yeah. Trained professional.

Can I talk to Nadine? If she doesn't want me around, I'll drop the food off and go. I want to hear it from her.

Do what you like. I'll just wait.

*quiet for a moment* Right. Trained professional...

I'll be going now...

You do that. *click*

Nadine. I have to admit, I'm becoming...concerned isn't the word....

About what, Doctor?

The company you keep. I do fear you'll fall in with someone unsavory.

Oh, but I have a brilliant therapist and Gotham's District Attorney looking out for me.
