It was, yes. But now I've got it, haven't I?

voice;

[handelaar]

Yeah, y'said that.

[And in the background, a lighter and a cigarette both flare themselves to life.]

So what's your game.

[Looks like he's got no choice but to tag in.]

voice;

[jilt]

Cat and mouse, naturally.

[ what a shame she doesn't have holmes' pipe. ]

Although regrettably it can't be done to scale aboard this ship.

voice;

[handelaar]

Cat an' mouse. But I'm doing the chasing.

[...yeah he'd call that rabbit and carrot, but then again, he's usually got rabbits on the brain.]

[jilt]

What woman doesn't like to be chased?

[ nevermind that that isn't exactly the point here. ]

Think you know.

Tell me, what would you trade for it?

[jilt]

voice;

[handelaar]

DISCONNECT.

[jilt]

[ there's just a laugh and then she hangs up. trololololo ]
