Persona and Parameter

Dr. Saunders :

You sent Echo out on
a high-risk engagement?

‘Topher :
Dr. Saunders, hey, so
good of you to annoy me.

Dr. Saunders :

I had her flagged for romantic
or altruistic engagements only.
Does anybody read these?

‘Topher :

Her last romantic engagement turned
out to be extremely high-risk.
Maybe her engagement with
Rayna will turn romantic.

Dr. Saunders :

She's A Bodyguard?

‘Topher :

She's A Singer --
Persona and Parameter : 

Two separate elements —

Persona: She's a struggling singer
who just got her first break.

Parameter: She must protect Rayna,
which she will do instinctively
and unconsciously at all times.
So she doesn't even know 

she's A Bodyguard.

Dr. Saunders :

And this makes what better?

‘Topher :

Who do you want?
Someone who's paid to protect you
or someone who wants to protect you?
This is The Beauty of What we Do.

Dr. Saunders :

And what about Boyd?
He's not up to any
serious physical threat.

‘Topher :

Boyd? What are you guys, buddies now?
Oh, god, of course you are……
You both disapprove of everything.
You're gonna get married
and have scowly babies.

Dr. Saunders :

Don't be an idiot.

‘Topher :
Not to stress. 

We're sending 

in backup anyway.
