OSWALD: Disastrous! Bloody disastrous! EDWARD: Am I interrupting anything? OSWALD: Edward, my boy! Come in, come in. (newspapers rustling) I trust you’ve read the latest editions? EDWARD: Just the crosswords. Harvey has yet to relinquish the rest. OSWALD: Well. Our mutual friend President Luthor has done it once again. EDWARD: Oh, Lord. What’s that malodorous cueball done this time? OSWALD: (passes over the newspaper) See for yourself. EDWARD: Lex Luthor… (turning pages)… Make America Super Again… Da da da da… Banning all Supers from America? (puts down the newspaper) Shocking, but I fail to see the downside. That certainly takes some eyes off of us. OSWALD: And that’s the problem, Mr. Nygma. The only ones who’ll comply with this… Deportation will be the heroes. That leaves a great deal of unchecked malice about. EDWARD: And if the rogues of Metropolis get bored… OSWALD: Gotham becomes the next playground. I fear the Bat and his brood can only handle so much. EDWARD: Well. That’s terrifying. OSWALD: Oh speaking of, don’t you have an appointment with our resident fear monger? EDWARD: Hah! Not if I’ve been re-booked for that bloody Lucenzo. OSWALD: Lucenzo? EDWARD: Mm. OSWALD: Surely not Lucenzo Valentino? EDWARD: No clue. I only caught his first name. (yawns) OSWALD: (snaps his fingers) Hercules! The Gazette! Quickly! (rifles through the newspaper) Oh, where was it… Ah! Was it.. (taps the paper) him? EDWARD: I… I KNEW he was familiar! Lucenzo Valentino… Missing students… Professor… Pyg? Pyg with a ‘Y’, though? Pygmalion? OSWALD: Surely Jonathan would know what this Doctor Valentino has been up to? EDWARD: I doubt it. He doesn’t read the news. Says it’s 'depressing’. The man wears flannel, and he says the NEWS is depressing. (chuckles) OSWALD: (cackles) Spoken like a true Regency dandy. EDWARD: I should inform Jonathan about this. Provided Bolton’s not out on the warpath. OSWALD: (laughs) It’s good! (stops) Oh. You’re serious? Have you not noticed? EDWARD: What? OSWALD: Mr. Bolton hasn’t been to work since last Wednesday. My… Ears tell me there was something of an altercation involving Valentino and Crane. EDWARD: Oh, shit. OSWALD: I believe our Dr. Crane is in a great deal more trouble than he realises.
