Character	Complete?	Transcription
Abrams	Yes	Abrams: I don't like the way you've been looking at the tome. Paradox: Can't a girl be curious? Abrams: I'm warning you Paradox. You touch my property, you won't like what happens next.
		Paradox: We've been following your work, detective. Abrams: Who's we? Paradox: Paradox. Abrams: And why's that? Paradox: We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice. Some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us. Abrams: Ugh, I'll keep that in mind. Paradox: Be sure that you do.
		Paradox: You look uneasy, detective. Abrams: Just wondering if we're going to have a problem. Paradox: With the ritual upon us, Paradox has bigger concerns than your nose in our business. So no, you have nothing to fear from me.
Bebop	No	Paradox: You're a marvel to behold, Bebop. Truly exquisite craftsmanship. Paradox: I can't wait to see it.
		Paradox: Between the two of us, we'll put them right where we want them.
		Paradox: "Bebop". That's a curious name for a golem. Paradox: Do you play? Paradox: Are you gonna let a little thing like "hands" stop you? Paradox: S'pose so but, I bet there's a solution if you try hard enough.
Holliday	Yes	Paradox: We're... not going to have any... problems, right sheriff? Holliday: I don't care about you or your friends. Paradox: In that case, welcome to New York!
		Paradox: A word of advice, sheriff? Holliday: Can't wait to hear this. Paradox: Don't trust the OSIC. Their goals and your goals are not in alignment.
		Holliday: How often do you take the mask off? Paradox: You think I keep this on all the time? Holliday: Lady, you're running around with a fishbowl on your head. I think it's safe not to assume anything.
		Holliday: So, what's your story, lady? You fall in a vat of clocks? Paradox: It's not wise to mock Paradox. Holliday: Yeah, you're real spooky.
Kelvin	Yes	Paradox: I don't suppose you have any trinkets you'd be willing to donate to the Paradox Museum? Kelvin: Why do I have the feeling that you already robbed me? Paradox: Goes to say, we definitely planned on robbing you during the ritual, but my colleague may or may not have broken into your home yet. Kelvin: I'm... Not sure what to say to that. Paradox: Be flattered that you lived a life interesting enough to be robbed by us.
		Kelvin: You have so many gifts and yet you waste them on petty theft and childish stunts. Paradox: That's a little judgemental. Kelvin: It's the truth. Paradox: The heart wants what the heart wants, Kevin.
		Paradox: You... Know you're held in high regard by Paradox, right? Kelvin: Why? I'm an explorer, not a thief. Paradox: An explorer is just a thief that specializes in stealing from the dead. Kelvin: That's a gross oversimplification. Paradox: Who's got time for nuance?
Lady Geist	No	Paradox: I wouldn't know, art's not really my thing. Paradox: I don't blame you. Paradox: Lady, we already robbed you. You're exactly the person to play games with. If you want the painting back, I recommend that you try to find it. Good luck.
		Paradox: Did you enjoy yourself? Paradox: Excuse me? Paradox: It had a hellenistic bust of Homer!
		Paradox: A few times a year. Paradox: We're a bunch of bored rich people, of course we brag about what we stole.
Seven	Yes	Seven: For all the might your organization wields, you waste it on publicity stunts. Paradox: We don't need to explain ourselves to you. Seven: I would settle for you explaining it to anyone.
		Paradox: What is it worth it to you to have your safehouses location... Not exposed? Seven: Your life. Paradox: I won't be threatened by you, Seven. Seven: And yet you just were. Paradox: You have until the end of the ritual to consider your answer.
		Seven: Does Paradox take commissions? Paradox: ... No. Our jobs are based on individual interest and challenge. Seven: But if I proposed something... Would you consider it? Paradox: I would be lying if I didn't say I was curious. Seven: We'll speak later.
Wraith	Yes	Paradox: At some point, they're going to think they escaped us... And then reality is going to hit them. Wraith: Oh it's gonna be hilarious.
		Wraith: You know what I like about you, Paradox? You don't just like to win. You like to do it with style. Paradox: The feeling's mutual, Wraith.
		Wraith: When's the next event? Paradox: We're securing a few more items of interest, but hopefully the gallery will be opened shortly. Wraith: Anything exciting? Paradox: Blackmail on Fairfax, the Ghent Altarpiece, the Tome of Anubis... Wraith: I thought that was at the Met?
