Why does Howard ask “What’s your angle?” when they reach the safe house?
The boat ride to the hideout location doesn't involve a lot of conversation. Mainly because the engine is loud and Howard wouldn't be able to hear that well over it, even if you can make out what he's saying. When you pull into the cover dock and turn off the ignition, Howard asks, What's your angle?
The angle is we're here at the safe house. Inside is a change of clothes, and you need to get moving before anyone spots you. Come on.
Howard follows you up to the house and you let yourselves in. You close the blinds and Howard says All right, we're inside. Now tell me what this is.
What this is, Howard, is someone is gonna come collect you in three days, friends of yours, who'll be informed where to find you. But why? If you don't want to wait and if I were you, I wouldn't, then you have a choice right now. I've got keys to a car parked outside. You could kill me, take the keys, go wherever you think you need to be on your own volition.
Are you kidding? What are you trying to make me do? You busted me out of Luna Island to test me with some kind of super villain thing? Life
is constantly full of tests, Howard. Choices and tests that nobody grades. Sometimes you know they've been failed right away, and sometimes you only realize it after Okay,
enough. Enough philosophy. All I want are straight answers. Is that possible, Master Dad? Well then ask a straight answer.
Great question. I just did. Why am I here? For the obvious reasons. Because you know too much, Howard, you'd screw up an operation, and you can't be left in jail. Are you trying to say you're working with Mercury now? If one of the problems is that you know too much, I'm gonna have to not tell you some things.
Oh, of course. But that is so like you, isn't it? Switching back and forth between the winning sides. They were closing in on your finances with the Demons Legion, so you just walk away from Mom. But now unstoppable industries.
I did not walk away from your mother. They had us dialed in, and Rudy got us a pardon. I am sorry that she could not see that, but the Demons Legion collapsed and she managed to get off clean.
Yeah, picked clean. They took everything and you signed on with the people that took it. We lost. It was over. So now unstoppable industries is falling apart, and you're crawling back into the game to work for the guy who killed Rudy. You know, people like you get famous all the time for being this slimy.
What are Howard’s motives for offering the car keys and testing the narrator?
They'll write parables about your life.
What makes you think unstoppable industries is falling apart? They've partnered up with McDonnell Industries and they're inventing new and horrible ways to cement their already incredible influences. How do you feel about mind control, Howard? Mind control? I don't know mind control. Does unstoppable industries have a psychic now? They figured out how to make mind control helmets. It's a fun and exciting time. The future is coming and there's nothing we can do about it. Which has become like a corporate mantra for today. Era, hasn't it? They can't make mind control helmets. Turns out yes they can, and I was gonna be one of the early candidates to test them out.
Oh. Yes, oh. Okay, so the company isn't doing bad, but things got bad for you.
Well the company certainly isn't struggling financially, but it is doing bad. And yes, bad for me, bad by me. Take it however you want, but I didn't rescue you to gain
your approval. Well good, because you're not gonna get it. I know you too well to think you saved me out of a kindness. You should just sleep in the bed you made for once, is all I'm saying.
Alright, enough. Enough. Let's just establish some common ground. All right? We both hate unstoppable industries. They're the enemy. And so help me I will personally drown Lowry in one of the company toilets. I don't know that I do hate unstoppable industries. Damn it, Howard, why can't you do it?
Anything right. They're just adversaries. The only part of the company I ever hated was you. Okay, fine. I forget where we started. Did all this answer your questions? Are we good here? No. No, I have other questions.
