Staying optimistic, huh? Didn't know you had it in you.

[winebar]

I am simply waiting for the proper evidence.

[third_alternative]

Yeah? Any idea where to find it?

[winebar]

If I knew that I would already have it.

[third_alternative]

Isn't getting evidence part of your job, Mr. Prosecutor?

[winebar]

No. Scotland Yard is in charge of investigation.

[third_alternative]

Do you see a Scotland Yard here?

[winebar]

I see several members of law enforcement with varying levels of credibility.

[Rex included.]

[third_alternative]

Exactly. You're just gonna leave it all up to us to find the evidence?

[winebar]

Consider it a chance to prove your competency.

[So yes.]

[third_alternative]

What do I get if I do?

[winebar]

You are asking me what you get for doing your job?

[third_alternative]

I mean...yeah?

Isn't that how jobs normally work?

[winebar]

I'm not the one employing you.

[third_alternative]

But you could be.

[winebar]

If you want me to employ you, you aught to seem more employable.

[third_alternative]

Hey, come on! Who could be more qualified than the guy who's saved the entire planet like at least ten times over by now?!

[winebar]

A man with the proper paperwork to prove it.

[third_alternative]

Psh, there's plenty of paperwork to prove it, you can just look at any newspaper where I'm from.

It's not like I carry all that around with me every day, though. I don't usually need to back up my credentials. I just show up and everyone knows I've got it handled.

[winebar]

You seem to be quite adept at making up excuses. A shame I don't have need of something like that.

[third_alternative]

Oh yeah? Well, where's your paperwork, then?

[winebar]

My paperwork for what?

[third_alternative]

For being qualified! To be a--you know, prosecutor lawboy or whatever.

[winebar]

I'm not asking for compensation the way you are.

[third_alternative]

No, but if you're willing to offer compensation, then I should get to know if you're qualified to do so.

Or, forget compensation. If you're gonna try and instate "order" like you keep saying, don't you think we have a right to see your qualifications?
