Transcript For Strip 1939

Panel 1
Carmine looks amused. Diana looks uncomfortable.
Carmine: What, are you on some kind of deadline?
Caption: I was thinking about the threat posed by the Château Périlleux but I didn't want to mention that.
Diana: What? Oh, no, it's just that I want to get this project over with. It's disrupted my life and I would like some normalcy, please.
Panel 2
Carmine looks at Diana levelly.
Carmine: Yes, I've heard about your issues with Smith & Holder. And more than what was revealed on that silly-assed Tschaikowski holostream.
Diana: Care to share some of that?
Carmine: Well, Smith & Holder is going through some internal turmoil over this whole affair.

Panel 3
Diana lights up.
Diana: What! Over my confrontation with Cooper?
Carmine: The whole situation, starting with your boss getting kidnapped, your getting assaulted by that agent, going into hiding. There was a failure on several levels.
Diana: That's putting it mildly.
Panel 4
Carmine and Diana, looking relaxed in one another's company.
Carmine: And, very embarrassing for Sergio Cooper. It's his department.
Diana: I don't feel easy being a source of embarrassment for Chief Inspector Cooper.
Carmine: The way I saw you face him down the other day, I'd say he has more to fear from you.
