"But surely they would have taken *some* action by now, Hopper."

"It is him, master. When I first saw him I felt the blackness of their deaths
on his soul."

"[giggle] Really. [flick] Oh, nevermind, I'm sure you have your reasons.
Still... it doesn't feel right to act without certainty."

"I do not request action master. Simply your permission to act. [flick!]"

"What difference, Hopper? [shrugflick] I'm afraid you'll have to convince me.

"Oh, don't give me that look, Hopper. When you give me that look I can't help
get the feeling you're thinking about acting on your own. And then I'd have to
kill you. [giggle]"

"I would never act contrary to your wishes, master."

"Not twice, at any rate. [giggle] So forget about him. If it *is* him, he'll
prove it soon enough. [flick]"

"Perhaps sooner than he planned? [perkear]"

"[nosewrinkle][swish] Oh, okay."
