I would, I absolutely would. You're very important to me and I trust you completely. [she smiles warmly at him]
Well, I've already spoken to Marlo about performing. And Rip is interested in bringing in the opera. Personally, I'm good for both acting and ballet. Alfred has already said he'd like to play King Lear opposite my Cordelia. And I'd love to work in concert with you and the art gallery. Culture is absolutely necessary for a healthy society.
I am so glad to hear that, my dear. [Hannibal's smile widens, just so.]
I could not agree more - ah! Opera. Of course Rip thought of that. She has such taste for such things. Once we sign the contract, you can feel free to ask me for funds whenever you need, my dear.
So...we're good? I keep my apartment and you design my collar? [she looks sweetly hopeful]
She does, she's amazing. She's one of my oldest friends here and I know I can count on her for anything. [and a playful wink] I might just have to take you up on that. Any plays or ballets or operas you have a particular fondness for?
Absolutely - do I need to speak to someone about the apartment, or will the contract be enough?
[A serious pause at that - because there are so many ... but if he is going to pick one?] I have always had a passion for Faust, in the original French.
Jo had--had put the apartment in my name ahead of time. So that should be secure enough.
[she waits with an expression of anticipation on her face, smiling warmly at his answer] I think I can make that happen. And as a bonus, it just so happens that I was taught French to better understand ballet. [and she rolls her eyes playfully] And because Bgztl High Society likes it better than Standard.
Very well. I shall send over a contract for you to sign - please read it over - and send it back to me after you have filled it in.
[One corner of his mouth lifted up, his dark eyes crinkling at the corners.] Well, I suppose I would eventually have to like something about Bgztl High Society.
[she nods] All right. I will. I can't thank you enough.
[she smiles back] What's the old saying? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day? Most of our fine arts, we stole from Terra, then proved we could do it better.
