You're a manifestation of my regression, you can't really talk.

[amoray]

Considerin' I'm the poor unfortunate soul gettin' tossed all cruel-like into a world a wiolence, crime, and hideous fuckin' color schemes, I think I got the right to talk.

[enigmaestro]

How is that any different from your world, really? Especially the color schemes.

And there's nothing cruel about it. Not cruel towards you, anyway, I can't say much about your victims...

[amoray]

That sorta shit was prime kiddie playtime material back on Alternia. Wouldn't get you jail time, for one.

And a course you don't see anythin' with throwin' a poor, innocent kid into that kinda mayhem. You're... well, you.

[enigmaestro]

I don't think you even realize you're speaking with two contradictory sentences there.

[amoray]

I'm sayin' you probably did the exact same thing to your own personal self when you got into the whole superwillain thing h... owewer long ago that mighta been.

I mean, you newer mentioned a mentor or anythin'.

[enigmaestro]

Because I wasn't desperate enough to need one.

[amoray]

I can't ewen imagine how fuckin' stupid you musta looked back then.

[enigmaestro]

More intelligent than your current costume, as I recall, and with a fifth of the budget.

[amoray]

How bad did he kick your ass the first time around? The Bat.

Probably pretty damn hard, huh? You lose any teeth?

[enigmaestro]

No. I escaped our initial bout.

[Via sheer luck.]

Luck was on my side.

[amoray]

And what about the first time you didn't turn tail and piss yourself like a fuckin' wiggler?

[enigmaestro]

You underestimate my bladder. And -- [Beat.] You never neglect to abscond if you're losing.

[amoray]

So you admit he beat you a handful a times.

Meanin' he's smarter than you.

[enigmaestro]

He's not smarter than me! I'm smarter, if not incredibly smarter, than him. I've won when it mattered most! If you honestly went by your logic, anyone who ever one-upped you due to whatever variable, merited or not, is smarter than you.

So everyone you've ever encountered, Eridan, would be smarter than you.

[amoray]

They one upped me. Not ten or elewen upped me.

I'm makin' assumptions that the two a you tangled frequently, considerin' how bad your back end is chafed ower this.

[enigmaestro]

Just because no one cares to tangle with you more than once, my company excluded, doesn't make you successful.

And when you and I engage conflict? It's like hundred or two hundred upped you.

[amoray]

Hey, I got no illusions about you bein' smarter than me. That's kinda your gimmick, I'd hate to go and take that away from you.

I'm just sayin' that maybe you ain't the smartest out there.

[enigmaestro]

You couldn't possibly take it from me. The equatable analogy would be me robbing you of your blood color.

But maybe I am. I don't deny he's intelligent -- that's why he interests me. That's why Norman interests me. They're both extremely intelligent. They're both almost enough.

But there's a difference in solving a riddle or throwing a punch and stopping me. The fact you can't understand that makes me question if you're actually as capable as I think you are.

[amoray]

A course there is, stupid. I'm assumin' Bats did all a those.

[enigmaestro]

I'm not stupid, nor will I ever be. Your pet name makes you look pathetic and willingly ignorant.

But what else is new?

And, my precious little idiot, you're wrong. He didn't stop me, and he wasn't the reason I reformed. [NONSENSICAL CROSSOVER PLOT WAS!!!] So he didn't do all of those. Meaning, your theory is incorrect.

[amoray]

You're gettin' all creepy possessiwe again.

[enigmaestro]

Would you rather I just call you a little idiot? Both are incredibly apt, and I have no preference.

[amoray]

And people call me sensitiwe.

[enigmaestro]

You're only sensitive in specific ways.

Do you actually think I'm stupid?
