From what?

Thievery. It just isn't as fulfilling as it used to be.

Fuck that that's one of the best jobs goin'. Don't quit it.

Well, there are only so many priceless works of art and precious jewels to be stolen before it all becomes a little tiresome.

It should never become tiresome. It's too much fun.

Hmm, it certainly used to be.

Maybe I'm just in a rut. Possibly I need to get out of Gotham for a while.

Never been ther ebut you should stop doing something unless you lose love for it.

It's not always that easy.

This case, however, might be.

It comes down to one line. You quittin' or not.

I think I may go on a burglary vacation, see if I can't get the fire back. If not, then retirement seems like the prudent choice.

Come with me one night. I'll make sure you get it back.

Is that so?

No one should lose the ability to steal.

Oh, I haven't lost the ability. It's the desire that's waning.

Then step up the challange!

Fuck that. I'll go out in a blaze of glory and take someone down with me.

Well, retiring one aspect of what I do. Burglary is losing its charm.

*chuckles* I don't think I own anything anyone would actually want to steal.

Oh, I don't steal from residences. Usually. Corporations, museums, jewelers. That sort of thing.

Now that would actually be interesting. What would you do instead?

I'm comfortable enough that I don't actually need the income, so I'm not sure. Relax, maybe travel. I still have vengeance duty to keep me on my toes.

Been there, did that, blew up the compound.

It's more in an official capacity in my case.

Probably would make it easier. I almost got my head shot off.

Some of them are armed, but for the most part, they've just been 'freed' through the legal system so they're still on that 'nothing can touch me' high. That's actually more fun to ruin.

I would imagine. That arrogant glee.

Fro arrogant glee to a messy death they so rightly deserve. It's almost poetic, if you think about it. Which I don't.

Sometimes I do. Only because I enjoy the psychology of my work.

That's a side of it I could never get interested in. Mainly because it always ends up being turned on yourself, and I can do without psychoanalyzing my own personality.

I've been psychoanalyzed and poked and prodded my whole life. You learn to ignore it at some point.

I haven't. Not that they wouldn't have a field day with me if I offered.

It's boring. And tedious.

I'm half tempted now just to see what they'd say.

*laughs* I don't want to know.
