You fucking idiot. You stupid fucking idiot. You're even worse than before. How is that even *possible*?
Fuck you, Harry -- we didn't *know* there was gonna be a tribunal, did we?
Are you sure? (He squints at you.) So you haven't been telling everyone what a *boring cop* you are -- and that you should kill yourself? People say you've been out of your mind. I asked around.
Oh yes, big time. (He nods enthusiastically.) Who hasn't heard of the Far Out Son of Liver Failure?!
He's too old. He's been like this for too long. I've seen him try many times. It's a farce by now.
I'm sure he's fucking *flattered*, but *Kim* is not part of this thought experiment. In this one -- *we're* partners.
Sure... (he squints at you.) You're not a... *superstar law official*. Talk on the town is you're Guillaume Le Million reincarnate. I know this shit. Nothing has changed.
(‟Cool shades. Are you wearing a disguise?”) Yes. It's a hobby of mine. (He looks at you inquisitively.)
Fucking deranged lunatic... (The sunglass-wearing man pushes through his teeth.)
I didn't *lie* to you -- no one *lies* to you. You were so fucked up on booze you couldn't recognize your own partner.
Get over yourself -- you're not a *perfectionist*. You're a cop and you did a good job. With a lot of help from Lieutenant Kitsuragi.
What does that say on your back? 'Fuck the World'? So you've turned into some kind of... nihilistic rock-and-roll *world ender*?
Okay, superstar. Talk to me, what do you want? You want a pat on the back?
A little premonition for you, lieutenant. Sooner or later -- probably sooner -- your new friend tells you he doesn't need you. He will then suggest you should *fuck off*. When that happens I suggest you take his advice, (he adds bitterly.)
Did he lose his memory along with his fucking badge? (The man in the background sounds like he's losing his patience.)
(INLAND EMPIRE - Who knows why we do the things we do. Somehow bouncing those ideas off the man with sunglasses felt calming. Like you've done it before.)
If that's even remotely true, then a clandestine investigation will be required. It smells like *bad news* to me -- a classic shitkid case that'll get people killed. Or fired.
He's too old. He's been like this for too long. I've seen him try many times. It's a farce by now.
