Right.

And youโ€™re the dude who signed them.

So where does that leave us?

'Lobotomized' is one word for being drugged past the point of recognition. Itโ€™s good that nothing happened. Canโ€™t imagine the person I was then would have allowed it to go past handshakes and high-fives, anyhow.

And I donโ€™t expect anything. Thatโ€™s the point. Cover the bases if we frack (canโ€™t swear, you know what Iโ€™m trying to say), donโ€™t lose sleep if we donโ€™t.

Doesnโ€™t really matter how it goes down. The list was boilerplate standard. Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ve seen it before.

But since weโ€™re on the topic, what *can* you do?

No offense taken.

And donโ€™t worry. Iโ€™ve got knock-knock jokes to keep you on your toes.

Havenโ€™t done anything with tentacles since my tour in Japan. Most I can do is electrocute and make you feel like shoot

sheesh*

shiitake mushrooms*

for a while after. But electricity doesnโ€™t mix too good with your type. Gonna leave that one off the table.

Donโ€™t throw electroshocks at an electrobot. Got it. Thanks for the tip. Couldnโ€™t have figured it out on my own.

Seriously, Jack. Iโ€™m not going to zap you. Any of you. I donโ€™t want you dead, and I think Iโ€™ve had my fill of monster killings for the time being.

And contrary to popular belief, I donโ€™t find murder to be all that sexy.

So you talked to Harley. Doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but I'll tell you anyway: it was an accident.

[ Unlike with Adeline, Slade won't blame Harley for throwing the first punch. ]

Funny. Murder was also on my agenda. Didn't end with sex, but murder alone rarely does it for me.

She's favorable, yeah.

But killing is a job. It's taking out the trash and washing your hands afterward.

Foreplay is a sparring match. Or a fight in the kitchen, but only when you're both in on it. Don't need corpses; those are a dime-a-dozen. A good challenge has more merit.

Not why I kill people.

[ But the rush does just sort of happen. Sometimes. Itโ€™s a case-by-case basis with that one. ]

But sure, tell me all about your latest power trip and how you probably get off on telling people theyโ€™re fired. Seems like a thing with you corporate types.

Is that what the moral of this story was? Iโ€™ll keep it in mind.

If someoneโ€™s special, they arenโ€™t your Smurfbuddy. If it wasnโ€™t clear before that we operate differently...

The only person Iโ€™d โ€œshow-offโ€ for is my wife.

[ The real moral of the story is that Jack takes his relationships far more seriously than Slade ever has. ]

Opposite. A Smurfbuddy is just that. You Smurf around at 2AM and thatโ€™s all there is to it. I wouldnโ€™t call in a Smurfbuddy to have my six in the trenches.

Iโ€™m saying 'special people' get their own category.
[ A category that, back home, was home to a total of only two people. Here, the juryโ€™s still out. ]

Anyway, Iโ€™m not here to talk semantics of whatever label you want to give Quinn. My job is to kill people, not to give you Snorky life advice.

FWB?

I wouldnโ€™t use euphemisms at all if it were up to me.

Think I can make a guide for you, though:

- Smurf around. Smurf-up. Smurf off.

- Youโ€™re full of Snorks. This is bullSnorks. Your taste in music is Snorks.

See the difference?

Canโ€™t relate. Friendship is an unnecessary risk.

Iโ€™m an angel. Thatโ€™s the best Iโ€™ve got. Woke up with a PG-13 filter about a month ago.

Dunno your taste in music. You know Queen?

You mean God *didnโ€™t* send his angel children down to Earth to Smurf all the women (Genesis 6:1โ€“4)?

Donโ€™t know how much Earth music made it to your moon colonies. Donโ€™t know anything about your world, for that matter.

Besides copious amounts of murder. Youโ€™ve mentioned that.

A god that performs miracles and smites people for 'distributing free literature,' maybe. Gotta start questioning things when god turns folks into angels, robots, and demons.

Good. So I won't have to introduce you to Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, and The Stones.
