The truth can only be revealed if you want it to.

Oh, no. In that, you're quite mistaken. Unwelcome truths will out.

They can always be denied.

They can be repressed,which is quite unhealthy, but not denied.

You seem to have a vested interest in this subject; who have you been lying to?

Sometimes it's better to repress the truth than to hurt people.

I'm a politician. What do you think?

I think you're engaged in lying on a much more personal level than that, based on your responses.

Do you really think you can keep up the pretense? I hope you try - the longer it goes on, the more beautiful the eventual implosion will be.

*hisses* They know. They may not realize it, but they know. And the wound may scab over, but it will never heal. That's what you've done.

Maybe at one time, but not anymore.

I'm stronger than you might think.

Oh, they know what? Don't presume that I've done something.

Don't waste your lies on me, Ms. Kent. Instead, prove me wrong. Write down what you've done, minus the explanations and the reasons and look that over. Do you want to show that to the world? Do you want to show that to those you supposedly no longer lie to?

Any further discussion of you and your deceptions will have to be billed at my regular rate.

That's Mrs. Kent to most, Senator Kent to you.

I don't know what you're under the impression that I've done, but nothing I've done is as bad as all that.

You're delusional to think anyone would pay you for your services.

He's actually a very good therapist, Senator Kent. I talk to Jonathan about everything.

I don't know what I'd do without him.

This is your Jonathan, Nadine?

Oh yes.

He's... absolutely wonderful.

Your wonderful friend is trying to scam me, sweetheart, I don't know what's so wonderful about that.

I would prefer not to be called that, Senator Kent.

He is merely trying to offer his services, which, for the quality of care given, is an extremely fair amount of money.

He is quite wonderful, both.. well. Both as simply a person and as a psychiatrist.

Whatever you say.

That's a verbal contract - by replying, you've incurred the charge. I don't take your insurance. Please remit $1200 for the initial consult and first quarter-hour. I assure you, should you fail to pay, I will take this to court and to the press. Politicians who don't pay their bills in these trying times? Tsk, tsk.

I'm not sure that informal contact on an internet message board is going to hold in court, Dr. Crane.

There's hardly a verbal contract.

Try me. I'm filing charges with the D.A's office right now. If Dent refuses to consider this theft of my services, I'll sue HIM.

...I'll also blow up a McDonald's.

Shocking.

Isn't it? I know very few will wonder why I put such a low monetary value on a group of innocent civilian lives - but I'm sure quite a few will be surprised that you do.

Maybe I'll take out a playground with fear gas, instead.

I'm a member of the United States Senate, Dr. Crane. I don't negotiate with terrorists.

But you do chat with them. Innnnterrressting.

*shrugs* Have it your way. I like money, and I like causing mass hysteria. Either way, I win. Frankly, if I have to choose, I'd rather go with mass-hysteria.

ooc: He really will fear-gas the Gotham Galleria now.

ooc: If he gets there in time, which he doesn't. Besides, if Superman could be everywhere, there's no point in any other comics. This is why Crane's taking out the GOTHAM Galleria. :P

ooc: Of course, I wasn't going to make a post claiming she's responsible. THAT would be god-modding. If you CHOOSE to have it affect your storyline, that's all you, here, have a plot point. I'm not claiming it would. As far as I'm concerned, what blows up in a meta-SWS thread stays in the SWS thread.

ooc: Yes. Crane might blow up the galleria, but Martha won't be mentioned unless you choose to engage in the threads and get involved. Or not, because unless some other Gothamites want to deal with explosions, meh.
However, I still want my money. .V.

Yes, it does. In stark relief too.
