Summary
When Jokester drummed his fingers against the glass mug thoughtfully, Nigma brought both his hands down flat on the table and stood up so he could lean further forward, his pale orange hair sticking up like agitated flames. "Come on! This is the big corporation screwing over the little guy for a profit, and the law playing along. I thought this was what you were all about."
He slapped a ten down on the table to cover the drinks and turned away, not caring how much attention he'd attracted to their discreet corner of Davis's bar. Jokester snaked out an arm and caught the little man's sleeve before he could get far.
"Hey, come on, don't go away mad," he coaxed, tugging. "You know how many people have tried to trick me into taking the fall for an assassination, or use me to make a quick buck at somebody's expense? It's like the word on the street is I fall for every sob story I hear."

Summary
"People say…there are no coincidences. That everything happens for a reason, that there's some great plan in which every little incident and fallen leaf is foreordained and significant. It's propaganda, is what it is. Trying to get everyone emotionally dependent on Order. The thing they don't want you to know is, everything matters anyway. Whether there's a reason or not. Whether it's useful or not. It matters."
"I know," Jokester said.
Klarion smiled up at him, baring a hundred long sharp teeth in the friendliest way you could imagine. "You know," he remarked, "I think you do!"

Summary
She nodded, lips pursed thoughtfully. "How do you feel about 'Mister J?'"
That was the way anonymous patients were referred to in psych literature, he knew, just a title and a letter, but that was also the kind of 'how do you feel' he could really get behind.
His grin felt more real than it had in a long while. "Mister J will do," he pronounced. "Doctor Q."
