Can someone tell me why the fuck there's a hawk up on deck, huh? It swooped down at my sandwich and I have a decent claw wound where it tried to perch on my shoulder. Since when does the Barge have birds of prey flying around, huh?

Ek naaste dokter, all right? For a quick bandage.

I don't know if I could lie to the public for free.

Sure you could, just follow my lead.

What if I'm suddenly compelled by the truth?

Then you crush the instinct down, baby! If you tell the truth, then you rob the hawk of it's mystery and fearsomeness. You'll only make it mad.

It's just a bird, Harper. Unless I have some incentive to do otherwise, I think it's in everybody's best interest to know who's responsible.

Well, okay, if you really insist on admitting that you unleashed it out into the ship without telling me, then I guess that's your prerogative. It does mean that you and I will probably have to go and try to get it back again.

You know, both of us.

I didn't unleash it, and you're the reason it's here in the first place!

Oh please, people spent that flood torturing each other to death and indulging in killing spree's. No one's going to care that I got you a stupid hawk.

They will care that it's roaming the deck, however, and I gave it to you. Who else could have unleashed it?
