† jonathan crane | scarecrow

Ψ Voice Ψ

I'm in the market for an assistant. Someone with steady hands who knows how to read aloud. You wouldn't believe how many people I'm surrounded by who have, at the most, a third grade education.

Yes, I'll pay - an hourly, twice minimum wage rate. And it's not physically demanding work.

Bats need not apply.

You had to group policy in with your threats to the fucking Scarecrow?

It's a Gothamite thing, Mitchell.

And you decided this just now? This new defunding of the libraries? [ There may be sarcasm there. Maybe. ] Because it's a Gotham thing.

Edited 2012-05-17 18:15 (UTC)

Mitchell, you cannot call my bluff in public.

You're bluffing with our public institutions! Isn't that a little fucking risky?

It's Jonathan Crane! Despite his ample chemist capabilities, he's not exactly a popular man.

[Eddie says... despite... all the interest generated in Jon's opened position.]

That doesn't mean we need to make the library system piss their pants in fear that they'll lose their funding just to see him sweat! He's the guy that fucking fear bombed the Thanksgiving Parade for fun! Isn't this a little worrisome?

I'm not at all worried.

[MITCHELL WHAT IS RESTRAINT?]

[ A beat. You can hear his hands hit his face, and his voice comes out somewhat muffled. ]

Why the fuck not!?

Because I know how to handle Scarecrow.

Okay, but does he know how to handle you?

You've read my "books".

Sure, but it's a little harder to pin down when in continuity he's from, or of he's from something after! What if he's gotten smarter?

You think I'm underestimating him? I think he and I can banter [read: threaten each other] without interference.

[ A beat ]

As long as it's just banter.

You needn't fret over me.

Well, maybe you don't think so, but I don't want to hire another Deputy Mayor.

As if anyone could match my contribution.

I think they'd have to work more than me to even get close.

Flatterer. [But he's so pleased.] Anyway, I'll drop the subject -- fear not, my noble mayor.

Mmn, good. Appreciate it.

How else can I show my appreciation?

[ A pause ]

Er, no, that's okay, Edward.

Are you sure?

Can I hang onto it for later?
