Because a very, very wise friend of mine - he looks remarkably much like you, fancy that - once told me that everyone and everything has a price.

So I am just wondering.

Hypothetically, of course.

[beaky]

It is also wise to be trusted. To not sell out patrons. Who would come back if I just gave away footage of everyone who came in and out?

The price would be VERY steep.

I doubt a man like you could pay it.

[3rs]

Ah, my friend. You know that in this hypothetical scenario, no one would ever find out about it. I'm not in the business of letting people know things they haven't earned.

But you, of course, also know that I have resources that not everyone has. And you have requirements and desires that few can meet, of course. A distinguished man like you.

[beaky]

Flattery is cheap, Ed.

What do you think I'd want? Let's make it a game.

Woah me.

[3rs]

I can think of a number of things.

Certain stock market information that fell into my lap. *cough* Luthor *cough*

Guaranteed intel on the Bat's - and his offshots' - whereabouts for specific times and dates.

[beaky]

Tell me which night, who it is about and how much footage and I'll tell you the price. I may be fair and ask for one.

I may ask for all three.

Let's see how much it's worth, yes?

[3rs]

Last Tuesday night. Ten to one inside, twelve to two outside.

Can't tell you who it's about, but if you draw your own conclusions, I can't stop you. You are entirely too clever.

[beaky]

Really? Interesting.

You know, I met with a few people that day but a few do come to mind. Why are you so interested in information about that?

I would have thought you'd have bigger fish to fry.

[3rs]

Oh, I have a lot of things on the fryer. So to say.

But you don't have to know why it's valuable to me to sell it, of course.

[beaky]

I think who you are playing would not be happy if I sold information on him and I happen to like him so play nice.

If you do anything I don't appreciate, I'll have to get revenge.

[3rs]

You might be jumping to conclusions. However, if it reassures you, let me give you my word that I don't intend harm to any of your patrons, employees or anyone affiliated with you.

I'd be willing to record myself saying that, or sing you a song about it, so you know I mean it.

[beaky]

Talk is cheap, I don't trust anyone.

That's how you survive in Gotham, you don't just trust people. It's stupid.

I'll give you the footage and you give your work. If you break your word, I'll make you suffer. Very simple! Now, how do I send it?

[3rs]

...do you have a tech guy? or gal?

[beaky]

Uhhh, kinda?

I can find someone.

[3rs]

then tell them mp4 and to send it to my email address

and you may ask for your payment

[beaky]

You are looking into a time when someone close to me was about so I'll have all three.

It's a big ask. I don't want to be accused of betrayal.

He's prone to pouting when betrayed.

[3rs]

You, my friend, are awfully paranoid.

Let me just assure you that if I planned on harming anyone close to you in any way, I'd be a lot sneakier about it.
