0:03
I'm sorry, my prince. It won't happen
0:07
Sometimes I wonder what Gideon saw in
0:09
you. Then I have a conversation like
0:11
this and realize how similar you are. I
0:15
said my sister would be happy as she
0:17
wished to speak to you.
0:26
Why? This evening's topic for
0:30
Not at all, dearest. Merely discussing
0:35
Not about me. Oh, well, that's time
0:37
wasted. But it's so good to see you,
0:40
detective. I hope you are here to enjoy
0:43
yourself and not on an official
0:47
A broken vase, a stolen innocence, a
0:54
Good evening, my other prince.
0:56
Oh, dear detective. You are a sparkling
1:00
tonic in an evening of toadies. I have
1:04
something to discuss with you, as it
1:06
happens. But please do circulate first.
1:09
Business can wait. After all, this is a
1:12
celebration. I will see you both later.
1:16
Oh, and sister, I want to talk to you
1:19
about the car stairs matter. Will you
1:21
have time this evening? Tomorrow.
1:24
I haven't forgotten. Tomorrow would be
1:28
Very good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I
1:31
have egos to massage, including my own.
1:39
So, uh, might I ask about the car stairs
1:42
matter? Miss Graham mentioned
1:44
a joint enterprise which my sister and I
1:47
are considering. Nothing that should
1:49
concern you. It is always wise to plan
1:52
for the long term. Well, I suppose in
1:55
your case, the very very long term.
2:03
What are we celebrating again?
2:05
Really, I am starting to wonder why
2:07
Malcavians are permitted at our court.
2:11
It is New Year and a gathering at this
2:13
time is considered traditional.
2:16
Of course. Surprised you still celebrate
2:19
though, given how many you've seen. We
2:22
like to keep up with the times.
2:30
So, you two are sisters, but very
2:34
Sisters in blood, detective, not sisters
2:37
in mortal terms. Has your sire told you
2:44
Gideon is not the most direct of
2:46
teachers. He likes me to pursue my own
2:50
You are on thin ice, Malcavian, as is
2:57
You don't like my sire.
2:59
Gideon has his uses. You are yet to
3:06
Well, I'm an adept juggler, whether
3:09
balls or important clues or, you know,
3:13
The sheriff has a modicum of faith in
3:15
you. I honestly can't think why.
3:21
Might I ask how you became prince? Or
3:24
should I say one of two princes?
3:26
You can ask. It is a simple matter. The
3:30
attack on our dear sire all those years
3:32
ago left us leaderless. Lou and I
3:35
thought it best to combine our talents.
3:46
Not a very kindred thing, right? The
3:49
lust for power being what it is.
3:51
I am never certain whether you're being
3:55
Oh, direct. Definitely direct.
3:58
Lou Graham is a droid in certain
4:00
spheres. I'd like to think my influence
4:04
is in others. We compliment each other
4:07
well. Our partnership has seen this city
4:10
successful through 30 years and more.
4:14
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have had
4:16
enough of your fumbling tongue. Ah, of
4:20
I wish a good evening to you, detective,
4:23
if of course you survive it.
4:28
Mistress Graham had told me to
4:30
circulate, so I guessed I should
4:41
While I did enjoy a party, I wasn't one
