[It's dark, the only hint of light being pale light seeping through a crack or a distant window. The area seems to be a place in the poorer districts where power has yet to be restored. Or, perhaps, it's a place that never had power.

The hunched shape in the darkness shifts and lifts its head towards the light, showing the outline of Joker's features. It's all very dramatic. And, yes, he's staged it this way.

In the darkness, he smiles, his teeth glimmering in the light.]

Well that was a fine few days, I think. Blizzard, burglary, robots going nutso in the mall.

[He lifts a hand, jostling a scarf around his neck.]

Tragic, that, but look at the bright side! Maybe next time it will take out the pretzel booth. Those things are empty calories, folks, think of your arteries!

[He pauses and turns his head back towards the shadows thoughtfully.]

Thankee kindly to Uzushio for sheltering a poor, homeless old clown. I do apologize for that smattering of gore but the fellow was being very rude, not wanting me in there. And you know what they say, any port in a storm.

Of course none of that woulda been necessary if some inconsiderate buffoon hadn't gone and shredded my tires, stranding me in the middle of FREAKING NOWHERE.

[He shouts]

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

[...Point.]

And you couldn't just stay inside somewhere and use a pair of binoculars?

Like some kinda Hitchcok character?

Come now, Re-l. If you wanted to watch a city, would you do it from a window? Or would you get out into the fray and have an experience?

[The answer is easily the latter.]

But it's a question of common sense. It was in the middle of a snowstorm.

That's what makes it fun! A little danger.

But then you shouldn't complain when bad things happen to you. That's the chance you take.

Are you listening to me!?

It's not the storm that annoys me, it's that someone wrecked a perfectly good stolen vehicle when I was trying to get out of the storm.

Yeah, I heard you the first time. No need to shout.

Did you get a good look at him at all?

[As though she'd arrest the person.]

Yes, but, call me crazy...

[A beat]

Something tells me you're not gonna arrest the guy.

Who should be arrested: the person who slashed the tires or the one who stole the vehicle in the first place?

So you see my point!

A good officer knows to examine all of the facts first. So, what did he look like?

[Teasing]

Like a bloke who can shred tires.

[She rolls her eyes.]

More specific, please.

Who knows? It was so snowy out. Coulda just been a civilian. Or maybe it was one of your coworkers.

If it was a coworker, I might have to give them a medal.

You should, the guy might need some cheering up since I also ran over him.

You what?!

Oh, my, yes. Flattened him like a pancake. Like Val Kilmer's career.

[Sorry, that joke goes right over her head.]

And you probably killed him!

Don't believe everything you hear.

That was you?

Unfortunately. The bastard was using the snow day as an excuse for vehicular homicide when I came across him.

I somehow doubt it.

I'm still not going to arrest him if you tried to run him over, which you admitted to doing.

I know you won't.

I already said that.
