Re: call: eddie/steph
[Sternly, through the giggles.] The ladies were all about it, for your information. I painted my nails. I wore eyeliner. I talked like I was auditioning for the role of a pretentious movie critic. And, women loved it. [There is a hint of embarrassment through all of this, but he works through it.] Not very bright, strong or able women, though. Just the kind that think chit chat over ancient scrolls is good dinner conversation. I was beyond a bore. I was a boring goth. And, no one was was allowed to call me Eddie. Ever. Or even Riddler. I had to be The Riddler.
