It can be a rough industry.

So can being a criminal. I hired criminals for my crew back home so we could all have a chance to do something better with our lives.

Do you want that too?

[laserhawk]

[ for the first time since this conversation started, dolph looks vaguely uncertain. ]

Dunno. I'm not sure what I want.

[ what he wanted fell apart. he hasn't had time to construct a new future. have new dreams. he wanted to do this with someone. with alex.

now he can't and he has to pick himself up again. it's hard. ]

[makeanentrance]

Well. One step at a time, yeah?

Do your job here and then the accolades will come.

[laserhawk]

You can keep that part.

I'm not interested in praise.

[makeanentrance]

Then what is it you want?

[laserhawk]

I told you. I don't know yet.

[makeanentrance]

You like being useful?

[laserhawk]

I don't think so. Being useful seems too close to becoming used.

[makeanentrance]

You're not here to sabotage me, are you?

[laserhawk]

What? No. Why the fuck would I do that?

[makeanentrance]

I'm just used to treachery.

No offence.

[laserhawk]

[ hm. ]

None taken.

[makeanentrance]

Hazard of working with supervillains.

[laserhawk]

I was public enemy number 2. I get it.

[ besides, he's been betrayed so many times. ]

[makeanentrance]

Never number one, huh? I've always been underappreciated too.

[He took that in the completely wrong direction.]

Always being thought of as second fiddle... As if I was never good enough to be the arch nemesis.

[laserhawk]

[ buddy. ]

Is that what kept you up at night?

[makeanentrance]

Sometimes.

In the past.

[laserhawk]

[ a low grunt. ]

I'm done with fame. Of any kind.

[ he's had both. the celebrity status and infamy. both equally sucked. ]

[makeanentrance]

Right now I'd settle for respect.

[laserhawk]

And you think that'll happen if you're famous?

[makeanentrance]

No... Now I just want to bring something good to the world.

In this case, something entertaining.

[laserhawk]

Then your art will speak for you.

Don't get carried away.

[makeanentrance]

Which is why I need a good team behind me.

Like you.

Working hard for the sake of the film.

[laserhawk]

[ this guy . . . well, whatever. if it makes him happy, that's good enough. ]

Yeah, sure. I'll do that.
