Echo : 
Where's Paul?

DeWitt, 
The Den-Mother, 
VERY drunk :
He's not •dead•, 
if that's what 
you're thinking.

Echo : 
What did you do to him?

DeWitt : 
Mr. Ballard has been moved 
to a more secure location, 
one where your illicit key card
will be of no use — 
No need to fret.
He's receiving ‘top-notch care’.
[ This is FUNNY to her ]

Do you think •anything• goes on 
in My House without 
my knowledge?

Echo : 
I don't know. It seems 
like a LOT went down 
without you knowing.

DeWitt : 
[ This is TRUE ] ……Yes.
Well, I'm not surprised 
that Paul and Boyd
managed to keep your 
secret from me.

But •Topher•….!
He can barely keep 
a belch to himself.

Come on. Don't be rude.
It's just a friendly chat.

Echo : 
You •really• want to do this?
Pretend that we're equals? 
Go toe-to-toe?

DeWitt : 
Why? You having 
trouble keeping up?

Echo : 
You think I'm •scared• of You?
I have a SERIAL KILLER 
in My Head.

DeWitt : 
Yes — If Memory serves Me,
one that's •petrified• 
of Women —

[ …..that’s •almost• actually a Good Point.
But that means that he’s locked in there 
with a bunch of Women that •only•
let him out to the extent that 
he’s USEFUL to The Inner Community ]

DeWitt : 
All those people in Your Head,
I know their deepest, 
darkest secrets.

You're forgetting who PUT 
them there in the first place.

Echo : 
So •now• you're trying 
to take credit 
for MAKING Me?

•You• didn't make Me. 
•I• made Me.

•You• may think all these people 
knocking around 
in My Head are •useless•,
but that's 40 more brains 
than YOU have.

So I think we can agree that 
I'm smarter, tougher and 
a •whole• lot scarier than 
You could ever HOPE to be.

DeWitt : 
If •You're• so POWERFUL,
Why are You •still• in MY House,
•sneaking• around, trying to find 
your comatose boyfriend?

Echo : 
Lady, if I •wanted• 
to be somewhere else,
I WOULD Be.

But There's WORK to Do here.

Now You can be on MY Side
or You can on Rossum's, but 
the time for playing •both• 
is OVER.
