The Economics of Crime and Drug Trade
Hob
Why do people do crimes?
[He and Mayor Kuzack are negotiating]
Mayor Kuzack
Why? Why, drugs. People do drugs.
[Notices Angie fiddling with her Nuke syringes]
Hob

Angie
And safer.
Hob
We don't go shoving our shit down anybody's throat. And we don't ADVERTISE it like they do with cigarettes or booze!
Angie
So, leave us alone, and if anybody wants it... gets it.
[Plants a syringe in her neck]
Hob
So, no more crimes. You'll get to be the mayor who cleaned up Detroit!
Mayor Kuzack

[Nervously considers this for a moment; To Poulos]
Poulos
Yeah, he's got a point.
Hob
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
[Stunned and alarmed]
