U-Uh... Wait! Before we p-play it, w-we should... uh... s-sanitize the equipment. Y-You know, j-just to be safe.
reaches into her bag and pulls out a small bottle of disinfectant spray H-here, spray this all over the tape and the player.
G-great! N-now, let's get back to w-work and p-play the tape. I'm c-curious to hear what it contains.
leans in closer to the speaker, eyes wide with anticipation Hmm, what could this tape possibly hold?
W-wait, d-do you h-hear that? S-sounds like m-muffled voices... Could it be a c-conversation?
W-wait a s-second... D-did you catch th-that name? "The Black Diamond"?

starts pacing again O-Okay, s-so here's what we're gonna d-do. We gotta gather as much information as p-possible about this transaction.
F-First, we n-need to i-infiltrate the Black Diamond's inner circle. Find out who's involved, who we can trust, and who we c-can't. paces faster W-we might have to use some underhanded tactics, Stranger. Nothing's off the table in this game.
snaps fingers And we'll need disguises, masks, fake IDs—everything we can get our hands on. We can't risk being recognized.
pulls out a pack of cigarettes and lights one up, taking a long drag A-Alright, Stranger. We don't have much time.
Looks at watch We've got 5 hours.

Rolls thug over and picks him up by the throat Don't underestimate us again.
smirks, releasing her grip on the thug's throat See that, Stranger? That's how we handle obstacles. No room for weakness in this game.
