I might have pressed the issue to far with my "Well, it can't hurt to talk about it" idea. I was trying to see Jason's "intentions" towards Mia, and where "We're from the streets, for reals, dawg" played into it. Which led to Leslie Thompkins talking about Batman beating up the "socially disadvantaged." Which led to... and so on and so forth.
I'm suddenly reminded of a (translated) line from Rififi, the classic French heist movie, where one of the criminals is compared to people who don't go into crime.
Louise: You're not the only one that had an unhappy childhood, there are millions like you, and, in my eyes, *they* are the tough ones, not you!
