Video

[At least, for once, this is an intentional video. He is, however, much more casually attired than usual -- which, in this case, means with no suit jacket, no tie, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows. And he appears to be leaning on a car, cigarette in hand, as ever, and an errant smudge of grease or two on his face.]

I have two questions for the City at large. Call it... research.

[One of those tiny, polite smiles, and then...]

First of all, if there were one thing you think this city is lacking -- and "a means of escape" isn't a valid answer here, I'm afraid, since we all want that -- what would it be?

[A long pause.]

Second of all, I've been informed that I'm in need of at least one "modern" outfit, whatever that means. Is anyone here willing to assist?

That's one of the good things I can say about this place -- I can get my hands on a car like this. You'd never believe how fast it can go.

It's beautiful...I'm not surprised it can go fast, it's...wow.

It'll be a lot more beautiful once I get it repainted. Red, I'm thinking. But if you ever want to go for a drive, you're always welcome to join me.

[Getting to show off his car? Almost the best thing ever.]

Red is good. I'm partial to red myself.

I'd love to go for a ride. I've never been in a car before, new or otherwise...!

Never been in a car? We're going to have to remedy that. Anytime you want a ride, you just tell me. You'll love it.

Never. I didn't even know anybody who had a car, back home.

[Anya all you know are orphans and conmen of course you didn't know anybody who owned a car.]

As soon as you get it all fixed up, let me know!

[Good thing he's totally not a conman then, right?...]

Sure. And we can always go for a drive before it's completely fixed up. It still runs okay, it's just not as pretty as it will be.
