Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio
Apollo	No	Apollo: I like your cat. Calico:
		Apollo: Why did you leave the Baxter Society? Calico: Apollo: Father says loyalty is everything.
		Calico: Apollo: As a general rule, he doesn't break bread with assassins. Calico: Apollo: Why would I put him at risk? Calico: Apollo: Until someone hires you to kill him.
Bebop	No	Calico: Bebop: More or less.
		Calico: Bebop: I'm not interested in killing people for money. Calico: Bebop: It's an arbitrary, yet distinct, line.
		Bebop: If I bring 'em to us, can you finish 'em off? Calico:
Celeste	No	Calico: Celeste: Please stop talking to me. Calico: Celeste: I said, please!
		Calico: Celeste: It didn't come naturally. It took a lot of practice. Calico: Celeste: Oh.
		Celeste: Hey, I'm Celeste! Calico: Celeste: Nice to meet you! So, what do you do? Calico: Celeste: Fun! Calico: Celeste: Fancy! What about for work? Calico: Celeste: Oh, that's... great.
The Doorman	No	The Doorman: Lovely to see you again, Miss Calico. Calico: The Doorman: I haven’t. Calico: The Doorman: Oh, that would spoil the fun. Calico: The Doorman: You wouldn’t have it any other way.
		The Doorman: So, are you just in New York for the ritual or do you have… professional interests in town? Calico: The Doorman: Ah, seeing old friends?
		Calico: The Doorman: In the unlikely event of it being necessary she will be treated like a queen at The Baroness. Calico: The Doorman: My pleasure.
Drifter	No	Drifter: I see the Baxter Society is sending their B-team to help me. Calico: Drifter: How could I forget? You're a scary killer now. Calico: Drifter: Stop pretendin' like you're gonna do a damn thing about my tone. Calico:
		Calico: Drifter: Which I'd say is a testament to how satisfying it is.
		Calico: Drifter: It's a remarkably ugly cat, I can't help it.
Graves	No	Graves: You look familiar. Calico: Graves: No, I've seen you before, not on the news. Calico: Graves: Nonono, they're alive... I know! You were at their Christmas party last year. Calico: Graves: It was at "Whiteside & Graves". Calico:
		Calico: Graves: Yeah, you gonna give me a lecture on how it's a bad idea to carry it? Calico:
		Graves: I like your ugly cat. Calico: Graves: Look, I mean, I think she's great, but... objectively she's ugly as sin. Calico:
Grey Talon	No	Calico: Grey Talon: We both know that's a lie. Calico: Grey Talon: I understand... You being here now means more.
		Calico: Grey Talon: How awkward do you want to make it? Calico: Grey Talon: Great.
		Calico: Grey Talon: I don't have many breaths left, Calico... I'm certainly not going to waste them on your problems.
Haze	No	Calico: Haze: I do. Calico: Haze: I'm going to kill you before the day is out, so making small talk seems a little pointless.
		Calico: Haze: That my restraint is superhuman.
		Calico: Haze: You'll find out real soon.
Holliday	Yes	Holliday: Cute cat, what's her name? Calico: Ava. Holliday: You think it's safe, bringing her out here? Calico: Don't worry about us, sheriff. We'll be fine.
		Holliday: Rumor is, you were in the Baxter Society! Calico: I was. Holliday: You ever hear of something called "The Troubadour"? Calico: Enough to know to stay away from it.
		Calico: You're not much of a talker, are you? Holliday: No. Calico: God, you and Wesley would get along famously.
Mirage	No	Mirage: You're the woman with no honor, yes? Calico: Mirage: You betrayed everything you believed in. Calico: Mirage: You used to save people. And now you kill them for money. Calico: Mirage: You're a lost cause.
		Calico: Mirage: I haven't had the chance to see much, but... what I have has been pleasant. Calico: Mirage: You are surprisingly affable.
		Calico: Mirage: I don't recall us meeting. Calico: Mirage: That's right. How did you...? (Gasps) You're the one who assassinated Siegfried, aren't you?
Mo & Krill	No	Calico: Krill: A pleasure to see you again, Calico. Calico: Krill: As much as we can in our line of work. Calico: Krill: As are we.
		Calico: Krill: It was a privilege. I'm sorry we couldn't do more. Calico: Krill: I suppose that's true. Calico: Krill: Eh, close enough.
		Krill: Your ward is looking ravishing as always. Calico: Krill: There are cats, there are queens, and then there is Ava.
Pocket	No	Calico: Pocket: Go to hell.
		Pocket: You tried to kill me. Calico: Pocket: The hell you didn't! A quarter inch to the right and that bullet would've been square in my heart.
		Pocket: When this is over, are you going to try to kill me? Calico: Pocket: To finish the job? Calico: Pocket: Yeah? Who is?
Seven	No	Calico: Seven: Well, aren't we clever? Calico: Seven: And here I thought I was supposed to be working with a professional.
		Seven: How does it feel to be the black sheep of the Baxter Society? Calico: Seven: Oh, you are an exceptional liar!
		Calico: Seven: I was the one betrayed. Calico: Seven: Be silent!
Silver	No	Silver: So you're Calico? Surprised we've never met. Calico: Silver: What's that supposed to mean? Calico: Silver: Venn diagrams are circles, you snooty bitch.
		Calico: Silver: Who's Ava? Calico: Silver: So, no one important. Calico: Silver: She's a pet, not some titan of industry.
		Calico: Silver: I'm not interested in a career change. Calico: Silver: There's a fairly large one. Calico: Silver: It's happened!
Venator	No	Calico: Venator: I'm not lookin' to chit-chat with a murderer. Calico: Venator: Don't try to equivocate with me, Calico. Calico: Venator: Wrong. I have no illusions that my hands are clean, but at least when innocent people die by my hand, it's not because I'm lookin' to make a dollar. Calico: Venator: Don't pretend that you bother to check.
		Calico: Venator: Not long enough. Calico: Venator: That was before you became a monster.
		Venator: Seeing you dote on that cat is nauseating. Calico: Venator: You and I both know that for the right price you'd slit her throat.
Victor	No	Victor: Keep the cat away from me. Calico: Victor: I'm not trying to be an asshole, but if a cat pulls my stitches, it's bad for all of us. Calico: Victor: Thanks.
		Calico: Victor: Excuse me? Calico: Victor: Did you? Calico: Victor: We're talking after the ritual.
		Calico: Victor: I'm fine. Calico: Victor: Why? What do you know?
Vindicta	No	Calico: Vindicta: Depends on the favour, I suppose. Calico: Vindicta: The economic woes of assassins are not particularly my concern... Hathorne and his little merry band of bigots will die at my leisure.
		Vindicta: You're one of Wesley's friends, right? Calico: Vindicta: He spoke highly of you. Calico: Vindicta: You can be disappointed in someone and still hold them in esteem.
		Vindicta: How long have you had your familiar? Calico: Vindicta: She seems fond of you.
Vyper	Yes	Vyper: It's nice, to finally get to work with someone like me. Calico: I'm nothing like you. Vyper: Come on! We're a couple of tough broads who kill people for money. Calico: I kill people for money. You kill people for a pack of cigarettes and a hot meal, we're not the same. Vyper: Oh, Cal- you're soundin' a little classist there, C. Calico: Oh, I'm sounding a lot classist, because I'm nothing like you.
		Vyper: You know, when I was in the joint I heard stories about you. Calico: I didn't realise my exploits were things of New Jersey lore. Vyper: No, not New Jersey, Wisconsin! There's actually a lot of assassins in Wisconsin. Calico: Why? Vyper: Safehouses are cheap in Milwaukee, I dunno? Point is, word on the street is that you do sloppy work. Calico: Excuse me?! Vyper: There was something about... like a hit, that went bad? I don't remember all the details, honestly, Wisconsin hooch is top-shelf.
		Vyper: Three bucks for your cat. Calico: She's not for sale. Vyper: Tell you what, I'll bump it up to a crisp Lincoln. Calico: Vyper, there are some who may find your pathetic nature endearing. I am not one of them. So let me lay down ground rules. If you touch my cat, I'll take your hand. If you hurt my cat, I'll kill you. And if for some pruno-addled reason you decide that it's a good idea to steal my cat, you will pray for a death that will not come. Vyper: You know, I like the way you threaten people, C. We're gonna be best friends, I can tell.
Yamato	No	Calico: Yamato: I don't need your help, Calico.
		Yamato: Tell me the name of your cat. Calico: Yamato: なんでもない、忘れろ. (It's nothing, forget it.)
		Calico: Yamato: Only if they're smart.
