Sunday Friend: The man takes a deep breath. "Yes, there's nothing like a stroll along the coast to lift one's spirits."
12->11
142
You: "You do know there was a mass execution right over there?"
12->142

Encyclopedia: The Bristelmüne Conventions are a series of international agreements governing the treatment of military personnel and civilians in theatres of war as well as occupied territories. In practice, they are more talked about than observed.

Authority: Do you hear that contempt in his voice? He's always considered himself *above* you.

Kim Kitsuragi: "I must apologise on my partner's behalf, again. Please believe me when I say that he does not speak for the RCM in *any* capacity."

17->230
18
Empathy: He appears completely at ease, like a common holidaymaker.

Inland Empire: You *knew* there was something strange about this one! He's an astral projection, a bureaucratic phantasm!

Sunday Friend: "Why, *officially* I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives. I'm only in Martinaise in an unofficial capacity..."

You: "You said you weren't really here. I had to make sure you weren't an astral projection."
"He said he wasn't really here. I had to make sure he wasn't an astral projection."

You: "Ugly work, but at least someone had the balls to do what had to be done."
