Empathy: You have to *act*, Lieutenant Love. You have to calm that hysteric down, tell it you've got everything under control -- then go and have a little boys' talk with Garte himself.
11->10
12
Empathy: You can hear resentment in her tone -- she's not thrilled to be talking to you again.
147
Electrochemistry: There is *no* resentment in her tone. She wants you to ask her out. No question about it.

18->325

You: "And what? What did I do?"
198
Sylvie: "You were waving it around in everyone's face, begging them to describe it. You said it 'calms you'. And then you started making suicide jokes. It got pretty *graphic*."
19->198

Sylvie: "Okay, officer..." Her voice is withdrawing as if she's moving away from the speaker.
165
Authority: Crackling static... more static and yes, more of that sweet static. The violence of your words is obviously scaring her.
20->165
21
Esprit de Corps: An angry cop refusing to face his demons and taking his frustration out on others -- just a badge and a gun away from those he's manhandling. A fast burning candle -- that's the side you just exposed to the lieutenant. He doesn't judge, has seen it too many times all ready -- you both have probably, but he takes a mental note.
168
Sylvie: Breathing on the other end suggests that Sylvie is still on the line. She heard everything.

Empathy: Some poor sod was trying to eat his pudding, while you were screaming, spit flying, imitating the *mercy shot* right next to him... Spat some in his food, I don't think he touched it after...

43->332
44
Sylvie: "Especially when there's a hurricane loose. It's *your* fault for losing them -- not mine."
241
Inland Empire: Something in you wants to immediately *forget* about this. As if there was a reason you threw them away.
44->241
45
You: Yeah. She's a woman. Probably just playing hardball with the goods. Women are just transactional.
