  • 259
25 Evrart Claire "And when they do..." He holds out his index finger. "They will have a *good* place to go. I'm currently working on renovating the buildings near the roundabout into affordable *workers palaces*."

  • 29

  • 38
38 You "What do you mean?"
  • 39
39 Evrart Claire "Harry, imagine a Youth Centre-Supermarket-Church complex! Employing hundreds, no, thousands of people. The coast will be lit up with enterprise -- and *life*! All those ruins out there turned into *low-income housing*..."
  • 154
40 You "Youth-Supermarket-Church complex? Do you really expect me to believe that?"
  • 43
41 You "Low-income housing? If even part of this is true, then why not."
  • 44
42 You "And *life*..." (Nod.) "I knew you were a man of the people, Evrart."
  • 45
43 Evrart Claire "Yes, I do. I got the centre, I got room for a retail complex, and in four years I'll get the church too. The wheels are already turning, Harry. The wheels of progress. This post-war limbo -- I won't stand for it. There are kids practically playing with their own *faeces* out there... It cannot go on."
  • 261
44 Evrart Claire "I accept your salute, Harry," he nods. "*All* of it is true. I've got the centre, I've got room for a retail complex, and in four years I'll get the church too. The wheels are turning, Harry. The wheels of progress. This post-war limbo -- I won't stand for it. There are kids practically playing with their own *faeces* out there... It cannot go on."
  • 261
45 Evrart Claire "And I knew you're one too, Harry! Right when you rolled into town. I've got the centre, I've got room for a retail complex, and In four years I'll get the church too.

56 Evrart Claire "Order it? You know my men didn't kill him. They told you -- it was a happy accident. You know how it is, no one takes the *initiative*. If I wanted him dead I would have had to do it myself. And I'm too fat for that."

  • 277
68 Evrart Claire "Harry, we outnumber them fifteen hundred to one. And that's just Martinaise. With all the unions in Revachol -- and with public opinion on our side -- we can hold off two men. Or fifteen men. Or even fifty men."
  • 167
69 You "How is this connected to the strike?"
  • 70
70 Evrart Claire "Harry, there is no strike, only war. Class war. Or, in business terms: a *dawn raid*. Or wait..." He pauses to rub his chin. "Is that when you still *pay* them something? Because we won't do that."
  • 71
71 Evrart Claire "We're not gonna give nothing. We're gonna *take* Terminal B away from them: the roads, the gates, the containers, that big crane... even the damn coffee maker. We're gonna take all of it for the people -- and *fuck* Wild Pines."

  • 87
83 You "Makes sense to regulate the drug trade like this. Keeps it out of more dangerous hands."
  • 88
84 Evrart Claire "Yes, yes, of course, and while you're doing that, please go ahead and also tell the Wild Pines." He snickers. "I wanna hear them squeal from the indignity."
  • 218
85 Evrart Claire He smiles slyly. "It's also far-removed from my men and the people of Martinaise, who've put their trust in me."
  • 86
86 Evrart Claire "Anyway, let's not focus on the sensationalism of the drug trade. This hypothetical drug trade is all anyone ever seems to be interested in. It would only be a small part of the Harbour's turnover -- just like the harbour is but a small part of Martinaise."
  • 223
87 Evrart Claire "You know why you're such a good detective, Harry? You don't get *sidetracked*. You care about the people you're supposed to protect, not some systems that may or may not be unethical."
  • 86

  • 106
103 Evrart Claire "Yes, if you start thinking about it like *that*, the socialist municipal body sort of is like a corporation, isn't it? It uses corporate law -- we're incorporated. I like to think we're using the best parts of *all* the ideologies here, Harry."
  • 89
104 Evrart Claire "Thank you, Harry, thank you." He bows courteously in his chair. "You have no idea how much it means to me, because in many ways *you* are that working man. You have already done so much work."
  • 89
105 Evrart Claire "Harry, the future I have in store for Martinaise will have all the *macho* aesthetics you love so much. The crowns, the guns... I will even slip in a skull and bones for you, my friend."
  • 230
106 Evrart Claire "Harry, the length you're willing to go to keep your nose clean is *remarkable*." He stares at you lovingly. "You will always have a warm bed in Mr. Claire's household, my friend, and a special place in the future of Martinaise."

  • 289
128 Evrart Claire "Someone must have *stolen* it from you while you were sleeping." He smiles. It's really friendly. "Anyway, the neighbours of this old lady contacted my men because they trust me and the Débardeurs Union. Apparently she was waving it around at the entrance to her building."
  • 295
129 You "She was waving it around at people?"
  • 130
130 Evrart Claire "As I said she's a character. I didn't have time for details." He smiles. "It sounds like she's unstable, but don't worry. No one got hurt."
  • 296
131 You "Who *is* this old woman?"
  • 132
132 Evrart Claire "Unfortunately, I don't know any more. You're gonna have to go in blind, Harry. But she's an old lady -- how dangerous can she possibly be? Oh, and she calls herself the Pigs."
  • 249
