"New York is being taken care of by more people than Paris ever could be. That and I've always been a fan of Parisian architecture. Now answer my question."

"Dan is a friend of mine, nothing more. But if you find Paris so sufficient-"

"It's not Daniel that I'm worried about Ms. Elness, it's Veidt." He stopped her "Adrian Veidt does not have many friends, his friends are his colleagues, but Daniel Dreiberg is the son of a wealthy banker, with no ties to Veidt Enterprises. Yet, their names have been printed together" he smiled "I suggest before your paper sends someone here, they research their own reporters."
"I love Paris" he continued "it's not home, and all I want to do is help. My government has sent them money, but it isn't enough, so here I am."

"Dan and A- Mr. Veidt met on a trip to Bangkok in 1978," Megan lied. Dan had spoken of their meeting there, even if she knew it wasn't the first time. "Dan was there for an ornithology conference, Mr. Veidt was on business. It's that simple."

"That's the story" he smiled "listen, let me teach you something about interviewing. You don't just jump in to the accusatory stance, before getting to know your subject." He pressed a button on his desk and a bar opened across the room. "If you came here to find something at fault with my business practices, you've all ready failed by immediately calling me out on false pretenses. My first instinct is to immediately have you thrown out of my building, but I ignored that."
Standing up he started across the room "Because you've got spunk, I like that."

Megan gave him a slightly suspicious look.
"I told you. I'm not a reporter. I'm a typist."

"Then why do you care?" He laughed pouring a drink.

"Maybe I just happen to believe in a little something called respect for other people's cultures."

"And I don't respect the Parisians? If I didn't respect them, then I would have just started building without the permits. But if you check city records you'll see that I was approved for everything that I'm doing Ms. Elness."
He took a sip of his drink "But as you are a typist, I doubt that you've done your homework. You're company sent you here because you speak english." He swirled his drink and continued on... in french "<Tell them next time, they don't have to worry about that.>"
((It are tru faxs that Lex Luthor can speak French, not amazingly, but he can. He also knows Japanese.))

"Because Adrian Veidt interests me" he raised his eyebrows "the man's a mystery, and anyone with insight in to his mind would greatly benefit me. It's just good business."

"No but I said before, you are a friend of a friend, so that makes you interesting as well, drink?"
