You: "I know what I saw, cheater."

René Arnoux: "You were a rat when we were boys and you are a rat now. Of course I knew!" He spits. "Your deception was so bad at first I thought you were play-acting for my amusement."
2->38
3
Logic: All that blunt data must have triggered an information hoarding reflex of sorts. Think of it like a small seizure. It will pass.
39
You: "Trivial? Ha. Ahaha." (Grin at the man.) "You can still tell me, you know. Before anything *happens*."

You: "This is getting weird, better hit the brakes."
27
Gaston Martin: "*So* weird... what was that, officer?" The old man is visibly shaken, but tries to force a smile. "Actually, *please*, let's talk about something else."
4->27
5
Half Light: ... aaaaaand that's how you break a man if the good cop and the bad cop have left for the day. Disturbing Cop to the rescue!
11
Volition: Let's cool Mr. Fight-Or-Flight down, before he kills someone. He gets overstimulated. But seriously, enough with the pétanque already.
5->11
6
Gaston Martin: "Uh... thanks. Is there something we can help you with, officer?" He avoids your gaze.
37
Composure: He got the message.

Logic: Oh, he knows what you mean. Keeping it to yourself now, may yield some leverage if you ever need it.
14
You: "I saw what you did there, Gaston. How's your back?"
8->14
36
You: "Nothing... just a lowly law-man rambling to himself." (Tap on the side of your nose.) "Watch that back."

Kim Kitsuragi: "I don't like where this is going, officer. Don't you think we should do something else now?"

You: "No. I want to talk to him. I promise it won't be about pétanque."
21
Kim Kitsuragi: He sighs. "Hurry up then."
12->21
62
Gaston Martin: "Ugh... it's not very good, officer. I'm an old man and sciatica is gnawing on my joints." There's a look of hopelessness in his eyes. "Some days the pain is almost too much..."
14->62
15
You: "Getting older does present a whole new set of challenges..." (Keep it to yourself.)
16
Gaston Martin: "Lately my eyes just aren't the same and even getting out of the bed is pretty difficult..."
15->16
77
You: "Should've built yourself a better body, Mossback. The kind that lasts." (Secretly flex.)
16->77
82
You: "The hangovers must be getting worse too... Don't think I used to lose my memory every time I had a little drink..."
16->82
17
Gaston Martin: "Of course, officer." He waits for you to speak.
17->7
18
Gaston Martin: "Well... first you draw a circle about a half a metre in diameter. We made ours out of rope," he explains. "Then the order of play is determined by a coin toss. You win it -- you get to throw the *cochonnet*."
24
Gaston Martin: "Then the players aim to throw their *boules* as close to the *cochonnet* as possible. They must stay in the circle and keep both feet planted."
18->24
19
Drama: This guy can act. Not sure I would have caught it if we hadn't *seen* him cheating.

René Arnoux: "Why don't the two of you get a tomb and take your whining there." He looks at you, disgusted. "I am ashamed to even stand in the same crater with you."
44
You: "Why don't *you* get a tomb yourself!"
25->44

You: "That sounds blissful, but right now I've got some questions for Gaston."

Gaston Martin: "Oh? The goal is to throw your *boule*..." He holds out the orb. "... as close to the *cochonnet* as you can."
"Yes, pétanque. The goal is to throw the *boule*..." He holds out the orb. "... as close to the *cochonnet* as you can."
40
Gaston Martin: "That's the *cochonnet*." He points to a small wooden ball in the middle of the crater.
29->40

Gaston Martin: "Easy now, René." He snickers. "I *will* join the seniors swimming class later, but right now I don't want to keep the officer waiting -- police business is usually urgent."

Gaston Martin: "Yes, yes. I'm sorry, officer." The senior is visibly shaking before you.

René Arnoux: "Good. Gaston finally understands the rules now." An evil smile runs across his lips. "Let's see if it makes him a better *petanquista*."
31->109

Gaston Martin: "Uh..." Your keen interest is making him uncomfortable. "Then there's measuring the distance between the *boule* and the *cochonnet*. I always measure ours, but usually it's done by the player who threw last."

You: "I think that's all I need to know about pétanque."
"Good, good, Gaston... see, how it's all *good* now?"

You: "Cut the crap, bozo! I saw you cheating!"
59
Gaston Martin: "What?!" The man tries to act surprised.
41->59
42
Pain Threshold: That hurt. The man knows where to sting.
42->26
43
René Arnoux: "Who did you think you were fooling with your moaning, Gaston?" He doesn't even glance at his partner.
73
Gaston Martin: "I don't understand, René..." He looks around with an expression of complete bafflement.
43->73
45
René Arnoux: "Already got one, smart ass." He utters through his teeth. "Comes with the rank and my service record."

Gaston Martin: "But *not* with a monetary pension unfortunately," the checkered suit snaps at his partner and turns to you. "What can I do for you, officer?"

Gaston Martin: "*Pardon*, René," he quickly turns back to you. "We must pick this up later, I'm helping the officer right now."

Gaston Martin: "I could, but I'd rather not." He smiles. "I don't want to take up your time with trivial details, officer."
