PLAZA RENE CASE MONEY RAT - 1086

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 55 René Arnoux: "Unfortunately, I don't." He shrugs. "Unlike most of the locals, I have no qualms about assisting law enforcement, but this affair has passed me by completely." 1->55 2 Kim Kitsuragi: "Unlike men, they also have to deal with the very same mentality you two are displaying right now." He frowns. "If it weren't for *this* they would outperform us." 15 René Arnoux: "Well, I'm glad at least some people bearing your insignia have kept a level head in these turbulent times." The soldier quickly glances at the lieutenant, then turns back to you. "I'm glad at least *some* people keep a level head in these turbulent times." 2->15 3 René Arnoux: "I know the kind," he says with a frown. "Gaston here is the same. A weathervane. Never stood up for anything in his life either." 52 Gaston Martin: "Oh, René..." He smiles wide and friendly. "If you only knew life beyond confrontations, conflict and extremities..." 3->52 4 You: "I try to avoid voicing opinions on controversial matters. Let's just drop it." 4->3 5 You: "Tell me something you are really good at and I'll find a woman who's better." 51 René Arnoux: "I don't want to get into this argument with a police officer," he replies calmly. "Let's just say that in the last eighty-two years I have repeatedly seen my beliefs confirmed in full." 5->51 6 René Arnoux: "Gender equality is a very noble, very *modern* idea, but in real life, primal roles prevail. But I do not wish to discuss this matter further." 13 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 6->13 7 René Arnoux: "If I knew, I would not be *afraid* to tell you. I simply don't. I am an old man, not a coward. The daily business of the riff-raff no longer concerns me." 16 Drama: 'Tis true sire. He knows nothing. 7->16 8 René Arnoux: "But you must agree that Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has made men more fit to perform certain... more *challenging* tasks, don't you, officer?" 21 You: "No, I don't think there's *any* evolutionary inequality at play here." 8->21 35 You: "Yes, I guess that's true." 8->35 9 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 3830486 JUMP OUT to PLAZA / RENE 9->3830486 10 René Arnoux: Variable["XP.gaston_told_technically_jeanmarie_still_engaged_to_both_rene_and_hjim"] 11 Variable["XP.gaston_told_technically_jeanmarie_still_engaged_to_both_rene_and_hjim"] 10->11 12 !(Variable["XP.gaston_told_technically_jeanmarie_still_engaged_to_both_rene_and_hjim"]) 10->12 17 Logic: That woman, who couldn't choose between him and Gaston -- Jeanne-Marie -- *she* must be the reason René is so bitter. He holds her indecisiveness against all women. 11->17 47 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 12->47 13->3830486 14 René Arnoux: "It's as good a time as any to turn our attention to a different topic, officer," he says, adjusting his cap. 18 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 14->18 19 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 15->19 38 Inland Empire: This is a man with a lot of past, but little present. And almost no future. 16->38 17->47 18->3830486 19->3830486 20 René Arnoux: "In Martinaise, the Union is the law, so can you really blame them?" 48 You: "But you don't have a problem with cops?" 20->48 50 René Arnoux: "Really, officer?" He smirks. "Match an average woman against an average man in a dark alley and see who comes out on top." 21->50 22 You: "Not to mention keeping the station tidy and the men fed and happy." 34 René Arnoux: "No man can afford to turn his eyes to the horizon if his rear isn't secured. If the womenfolk take care of that, then men can tackle the bigger issues." 22->34 23 You: "You better not be implying that women are unfit for fieldwork..." 27 René Arnoux: "I am merely stating that Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has made men more fit to perform certain... more challenging tasks than women." 23->27 24 René Arnoux: "Remaining headstrong, making tough decisions on the spot, or even tackling physical obstacles are a few examples of such *challenges*." 24->5 49 You: "You're a bit of an asshole, aren't you, old man?" 24->49 25 René Arnoux: "There's no point in getting angry at nature, officer. This is just the way we are *made*." 25->10 27->24 28 You: "So, again: you don't know anything?" 28->7 29 You: "Great minds think alike, René. You and I really seem to have it all figured out." 43 René Arnoux: IsKimHere() 29->43 30 Kim Kitsuragi: "The RCM doesn't discriminate," the lieutenant marks dryly. "Women are held to the same standards as men. And -- as reflected in the quarterly statistics -- are equally effective in their jobs." 30->2 31 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 31->3830486 32 René Arnoux: "*Cop* is a pejorative term. I don't have a problem with policemen. On the contrary, I admire the effort to bring order to our streets." 42 Rhetoric: He doesn't know about the crime. Your time is better spent discussing *politics*. 32->42 33 You: "There are no duties RCM women couldn't carry out." 33->8 34->29 37 You: "I guess, it might not be as black and white, but disagreeing makes me uncomfortable." 34->37 54 You: "You know, I'm getting second thoughts about this." 34->54 46 René Arnoux: "No reason to even feel bad about that, it's just the way of the animal kingdom." 35->46 36 You: "What about policewomen?" 39 René Arnoux: "I'm confident they are indispensable in regard to all the paperwork and other administrative duties." 36->39 37->43 38->31 53 sexy sexism HUB 39->53 40 You: "And... most of the locals?" 40->20 41 Jump to: [RENE MAIN HUB] 41->3830486 42->28 42->36 44 IsKimHere() 43->44 45 !(IsKimHere()) 43->45 44->30 45->15 46->9 47->3830486 48->32 49->25 50->6 51->10 52->41 53->4 53->22 53->23 53->33 54->14 55->40
