Well. This has given me the opportunity to test out a working theory I had regarding the illustrious Mr Zsasz, and I now have confirmation. And I do so love gaining knowledge.
So. Let us just call it an IOU. Just make sure you stay around long enough to pay up.
I don't know, I liked my old man. He just taught me a lot about trust. You can't just rely on people, you gotta rely on yourself making things better for you.
Sorry that your dad fucked you up so hard.
Seems like a common Gotham tale. Likely all the gangsters.
Yeah, it's not very original. Disappoints me at times. I'd like something a bit more extraordinary, but my old man is just an old drunk. Nothing grandiose there.
Have you ever had therapy, Harvey? I am aware of my own diagnosis, although I don't entirely agree with all that's on file with me at Arkham... I'll be honest, when I get bored enough, I just fuck with my therapists.
As in, I fake symptoms of something, not literal intercourse. I haven't done that with any of them.
I went to therapy once when I was younger, I kept having blackouts. They gave me some meds and I never went back. Didn't really stick out the meds either, I found other ways. Exercise worked for me the most, just run until all the thoughts go away, shit like that.
I would say that I don't think I need it but there's fucking two of me so I can't deny it.
It ain't normal, right? To take a jar of acid to the face and suddenly, there's another guy in here with me. And I can't shut him up, I tried.
Not normal, no. But another word for normal is ordinary and who really wants to be that? No one worth knowing.
To my knowledge, your condition is almost always tied to suppressed childhood trauma. Either one event or repeated events, something before the age of five.
Where my own issues are concerned, I believe in self-medication. And, at times, self-isolation.
If you ever want a good therapist, look outside Gotham.
Honestly, it really is just OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Very common in anyone with a high intellect, possibly related to how the world is perceived by someone who is too aware.
Either way, I manage it well. Give or take a few riddles.

You have the guarantee. Keep an eye on the television, I think you'll catch my signal.
I'm not big on 'subtle'.

Were you always a lucky person? Just curious.
no subject
Wait. You are serious. No. No, I'm not lucky. I have never been lucky.
no subject
The coin belonged to my old man. He always cheated luck too.

Let me tell you, Harvey, the Rogue Gallery is a Who's Who of Daddy Issues. Actually, put the Bat on that too. Trust me.
Sorry it's true of you too.

Well. Mostly haven't.
See? Talk too much. Text too much.

All these guys think you're into your mom and have daddy issues.
What's wrong with you? I never got that.

I don't think I'll ever want a therapist.
I think I just want it all to go away like that. Unrealistic, I know. Still, it'd be cool to snap my fingers and undo it all.

Might help your social life.

I figured. It does everyone. I don't blame them.

You'll owe me, so. Time to save face.

Wait for my sign. Be ready. Falcone's yours.
