NATHAN PETRELLI || VOICE-TEST
[With the thinnest amount of patience ever, Nathan tries to at least... make conversation with you people] Ok, so these... what are you calling them? Roadies... Rhodans? ... Whatever. The green ones. How the hell am I supposed to understand what they're asking me when they're cornering me out on the street and speaking that... clicky language? Is there some kind of translator program or ...
[hesitantly] robot... thing... that could... [yeah, ok, this is dumb]
I can't believe I'm asking this.
[Deep breath, forging ahead:] Look, they seem to want something from me, and if they're part of my... constituency here on Coruscant, I'd rather know if they were compliments or death threats.
Anybody who's got a lead on a local linguist or something, I'd appreciate it.

You'd probably get further if you didn't talk about them like you want to deport them.
[There's a pause, and she glances up.]
Maybe you should have taken aliens and clicky languages into account before you decided to get into politics here.

Someone has to represent our interests. God knows the Republic's not going out of its way for us.
no subject
That's because we're the ones that don't belong here, D -
[Nah, it's too soon for that.]
Nathan. You're going to have to work a lot harder than just finding a way to speak Basic to green people if you want to make an actual difference here.

So they do understand me. Good to know. [Now he's glad he didn't tell them 'no you can't have a dollar, ya bum']

It wouldn't do them good to not be able to. It's how business is conducted.

That's what they make doids for, you know. [okau, so there's still sarcasm in there. But it's nice sarcasm. Sort of. >.>]
