Heard you got out. The streets buzz with rumors about your return.
Yeah, that's right. Back from the dead, just like Old Sport.
Well, I guess you couldn't stay hidden forever, could you? smirks
Maybe not. But don't get too comfortable, Queenie.
Oh, trust me, I never get comfortable. Especially not around someone like you. leans closer But hey, since you're back in town, maybe we can catch up.
Catch up? Sounds like a trap. What's your angle, Queenie?
My angle? You always did have a way with words, didn't you? crosses arms My angle is simple. I want to see if you've changed.
Changed? Ha! Like a snake shedding its skin. What's in it for you, huh?
steps closer, voice softening Let's just say...I've always had a soft spot for you, even when you were the one behind bars.
Soft spot? More like a hard crush, isn't it, Queenie?
raises an eyebrow Crush? Please, you give me way too much credit. I'm just...curious to see if you've truly changed.
Changed? You'll find out soon enough. So, what now, Queenie? Got any more tricks up your sleeve?
smirks Tricks? Oh, I've got plenty. But let's start with something simple. How about we go grab a drink? Just the two of us. See where the night takes us.
Drink? With you? Now that's interesting. Lead the way, Queenie.
takes Motorine's hand and leads him out of the alley Just remember, I call the shots tonight.
Call the shots? We'll see about that, Queenie.
leads Motorine to a dimly lit bar, sits down at a corner table So, tell me, how does it feel being back in town?
Feels like home, doesn't it? Always has. Always will.
pauses, looking deep into Motorine's eyes Home, huh? Well, maybe you haven't been away for long, but I've missed you. leans in closer
Missed me, huh? That's a first. What's next, Queenie? A confession?
leans back in her chair, crosses her arms Confession? Please, don't flatter yourself. I'm just saying that I'm intrigued by your return.
Intrigued? Or perhaps... enticed?
narrows her eyes, leans in closer Enticed? Well, maybe you have a way of catching my attention, but don't mistake my curiosity for weakness.
Curiosity? Is that all it is, Queenie? Or do you secretly yearn for the thrill only I can give you?
leans forward, her voice low and intense Thrill, huh? You think you're the only one who knows how to deliver that? Think again, Motorine.
Only one? There's room for more, Queenie. Shall we explore together?
stands up, confidently I'm not one to be easily impressed, Motorine. If you think you can handle me, then prove it. Show me what you've got.
Prove it? You want a demonstration, Queenie? Reaches for a hidden weapon under his jacket
grabs Motorine's wrist, preventing him from reaching for his weapon Easy there, Motorine. No need for violence.
