[Franziska approaches the prosecutor with a smirk on her face.]

So, I see that you're not dead.

No, miraculously. I didn't even come down with a case of the vapors in the middle of the courtroom. [He just smirks right back at her.]

It's rather strange that none of that came to pass, don't you think? But then again, I suppose we cannot trust everything that we read in the news.

It's almost as though somebody just made it all up.

Quite the active imaginations they have, don't they? A pity that they haven't decided to instead focus on authoring the next best-selling novel instead.

Well now... some people are just never able to make the jump from fiction to journalism, unfortunately. [Siiiiip.]

I brought a carafe of #9 this evening, if you're interested.

Oh? What description would you ascribe to that particular brew?

One of my milder blends, a nice, smooth combination of flavors with an almost sweet finish. I thought it would be well-received by a diverse group.

Hmm, that does sound rather appetizing. Certainly healthier than all this soda, at any rate.

No kidding. All that sugar will kill you. [Because all that caffeine is much better, right?]

And before it does that, it'll make your teeth rot, too.

Right? Coffee is much healthier on all counts.

Indeed. How many cups a day do you drink, again?

I'm limited to fewer on days I'm in court, because I never drink more than 17 in the course of a trial.

So averaging it out... [A brief pause, and a sip.] Around 40.

And how many days of the week do you go to court?

Maybe two or three on a busy week.
