Re: The Egyptian: Eddie and Selina
[Eddie walked past her to stand at the balcony. His hands lightly gripped the railing and he leaned in, closed his eyes and imagined there was a string around his ankle while he dangled in the breeze. That was a good measure of being alive when you were just a rogue. Of course, in reality he was only standing there, enjoying the smog and the lights below. He breathed it in and then looked at her.]
From this point on, we behave like the people we are pretending to be. This entire city is our mark. Guys like Gordon need to distrust us because even if we have the same end goal, he would never agree with how we're going about this. [Eddie rubbed his thumbs against the stone balcony.] Once, when I was young? I tried to clean the city up with black mail. Hack into the emails of all the corrupt men in this town and use their secrets to take each one of them down. [He molded his hand into the shape of a gun and fired off a few fingertip shots.] When the Dark Knight found out, he claimed I was doing it for the money. For my own pride. But, the truth was he just didn't like how I was doing business. This Bruce- he's a good man. But, eventually either me or you will do something that's going to break a code he really cares about.
