17th Letter; video

[It's late morning, and Franz is rather fetching in a gray three-piece suit. It appears he's stopped in the kitchen for a moment. It's a pleasant scene, nearly as put-together as a magazine scene.]

Maybe I'm just in a bit of a strange mood, but, I want to know - what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful that we, as Newcomers, have each other. And I invite any of you who've just turned up on this dreadful island to please feel free to ask me anything you'd like about life here. I'm sort of an expert.

[Franz looks thoughtful, and then amused.]

I suppose I'm also thankful that I got all of my shopping done ahead of time.

I heard about that, the rioting at the supermarket-

...are potatoes really worth getting into brawls over?

No, but tradition is. And that's what they all think they'll lose without the damned potatoes.

How tragic. I suppose we should be relieved, ignorant and uncultured newcomers that we are, content to go without.

Speak for yourself when you say we're uncultured. I just spent the morning at Mass. [A chuckle, but he concedes:] Though I'm glad that most of the nostalgia I'm burdened with isn't shared by the rest of the city.

I'm thankful for you.

[asj;faskl;d OH BLAINE.]

--You're such a sap.

I'm thankful for you too.

Some people.

But not humanity as a whole, hm?

I can do without the rest of the population.

They're not at their best in the city. [A pause.] Or perhaps any city.

Mm, I am thankful for meeting a couple of people here.

[Aslan, Chuck... Lucifer again]

Me too. There are a lot of... [Franz hides his smile behind his hand. No, he and Daedalus aren't a secret, but still, he sort of pretends they are.] People I've been so lucky to meet. Even if it was only briefly for some of them.

A lot of people are miserable here - but I've learned a lot.

That's helpful too -- You don't have to feel bad because other people dislike it, you know? I'm happy for you.

...Thanks.

Do you have anyone special here?

I am thankful for my family, and my friends. And for the work I can do here.

Spoken like a true Romdeau citizen - thankful for work. [He's teasing - mostly.]

Considering the fact that I don't do much with my free time, work is always a welcome comfort. [So serious.]

You could try the dating scene.

Thankful for incompetent cops.

--That's not a comforting response.

Makes it easier for justice. They're all corrupt.

[sharply] There are good cops out there.

I don't have them with me, but I'm thankful for my husband and my family.

That's very sweet.

I'm sorry if this is forward, but are you alright alone on a holiday?

[Well, that was unexpectedly kind. She can't help the little smile sneaking across her lips.]

Oh, no, I'm fine, but thank you for asking. We're not really the type to celebrate holidays past the occasional Christmas.
