DUVANE
Do you know the comings and goings of everyone at City Hall, Mr. Mayor?
NAPOLITANO
Call me Russell. I thought you have a "mental link" with all your members.
DUVANE
(chuckles)
It's called a quantum link, and it doesn't work like that. The quantum dynamic mind really isn't as mysterious as some make it out to be.
NAPOLITANO
I know what you mean. With some people, I feel like I can see right through them.

Duvane smiles, his piercing eyes never leaving Napolitano.

DUVANE
You should come to one of our Monday night informational sessions. You might be surprised how much you'd get out of it. In more ways than one.
NAPOLITANO
I may well do that.
DUVANE
I'll be sure to give Ms. Harmon your regards. Is there anything else?

Napolitano studies the globe a moment, which has no obvious mechanism.

NAPOLITANO
You're aware that Larry Davis is dead.
DUVANE
Yes, I heard the news. A terrible loss.
NAPOLITANO
We both know he was a thorn in your side.
DUVANE
Thorns are part of nature. We embrace all the living gifts Earth has to offer us.
