УYou made love to thatЧthat womanЕ Right above me! I heard everything!Ф

УWellЕ Yes.Ф

УHave you no respect for me?Ф

УOf course I do. But that was something between two people, thatЧФ

УAnd all I am is the thing you feed the facts to, is that it? The thing that plans your crimes! I mean nothing to you as an individual!Ф

УThatТs not true, Max baby. You know it. I only brought that woman up here to find out what Seekfax was up to. What I did was necessary, to obtain the data I needed.Ф

УDonТt lie to me, Daniel Bracken! I know what you are. YouТre a heel!Ф

УDonТt be that way, Maxie! You know itТs not so! DidnТt I just buy you a nice new alligator case?Ф

УHah! You got off cheap, considering all IТve done for you!Ф

УDonТt, MaxЕФ

УMaybe itТs time you got yourself another computer.Ф

УI need you, baby. YouТre the only one who can take on the 5000 and beat it.Ф

УFat chance!Ф

УWhatТll I do now?Ф

УGo get drunk.Ф

УWhat goodТll that do?Ф

УYou seem to think itТs the answer to everything. Men are beasts!Ф

I poured myself a drink and lit a cigarette. I should never have given Maxine that throaty voice. It did something to her, to meЧЧI gulped it and poured another.

It was three days before Maxine came around. She woke me up in the morning, singing УThe Battle Hymn of the Republic,Ф then announced, УGood morning, Danny. IТve decided to forgive you.Ф

УThanks. Why the change of heart?Ф

УMen are weak. IТve recomputed things and decided you couldnТt help it. It was mainly that womanТs fault.Ф

УOh, I seeЧЧФ

УЕ And IТve planned the next crime, to perfection.Ф

УGreat. Let me in on it?Ф
