You'd never actually put me in danger, right? You really think this hospital of yours will be safe for me?

[slightlyoffchilt]

First -- I do not intend to, no. But I cannot commit to "never", broad stroke. Second -- Mostly safe. Say, 92% safe.

[wizzardly]

Fair enough. And those are suspiciously good odds. So I'll take them.

[until they inevitably go wrong anyway.]

And all that about me being good for the position, you really think that too? I'd be fine with it, if you were just being nice to me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

People are not threatened by you, Rincewind. Knowing that, you are at a better position to administer the medication and drugs they do not want to take.

Everyone's going along with it rather well so far. I don't suppose there's any way we don't have to eventually have in-patients? We could turn the cells into more break rooms. Or storage. Tiny libraries?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I absolutely want to fill those rooms with in-patients. And soon. The question is who.

[wizzardly]

Well you should absolutely start with the non-violent sort. New operation and all, best to start small. For a few years, even. Just to be safe.

I was thinking more along the lines of that presumed bank robber advertising his services on the Network.

[wizzardly]

Oh, them. I saw that. [and wisely opted not to comment.]

At least they weren't threatening to murder people. I guess that's something.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I think the implication of necessity implies that murder is indeed an option.

[wizzardly]

'Option' being still a few ropes' lengths away from 'goal', which makes them more familiar. Still not the sort I prefer to linger around, but less likely to consider gutting me out of boredom.

Important distinctions.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You do have a darker view of people, in general. Than that of the statistical average, I mean.

[wizzardly]

Accurate, you mean. I have a more accurate view of people.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well -- no argument there, frankly.
