CRANE: Alright, now you gonna keep quiet while I’m workin’?
(IKKY caws)
CRANE: (chuckles) I’mma hold you to that. (knock at the door) Come on in.
(door opens)
LUCENZO: Dottore.
CRANE: Lucenzo – a pleasure. Damn, you are a big man. It’s not very often I have to look up at folk.
LUCENZO: (chuckle) Si, the Valentinos, we are – we are known for our height. And our meat.
CRANE: I beg pardon?
LUCENZO: Scusi, dottore – mi padre, he was a… macellaio, uh…
CRANE: Oh, a butcher!
LUCENZO: Si. A butcher.
CRANE: (chuckles) Um, you may wanna reword that, in future.
LUCENZO: Por que?
CRANE: (pause) Have a seat.
LUCENZO: Grazie. (sits)
CRANE: Now it says here you were referred by a Dr. Johannes. Is this correct?
LUCENZO: Si.
CRANE: I’ve read some of Karl’s work – he’s a rather brilliant psychiatrist. I don’t know what I could offer that he couldn’t.
LUCENZO: Dottore Johannes, he… he lack vision. I tried to explain to him what I do, and he – he does not see.
CRANE: And what do you do?
LUCENZO: Uhh, today… I do not wish to say.
CRANE: Fair enough. I saw you’re a professor at Gotham City University as well. Professor of Surgery, if I’m not mistaken.
LUCENZO: Si.
CRANE: You don’t mind me asking, why teach? You’ve studied for years; graduated top of your class. I can’t imagine you’d have a problem with the sight of blood, with your father being a butcher and all.
LUCENZO: But that was the problema. I have the mind of a chirurgo, but the hands of a, as you say, butcher.
CRANE: Mm. I could see how that would keep you out of surgery.
LUCENZO: Si. Professional.
CRANE: I’m afraid I don’t follow.
LUCENZO: We all have our uhh, passatempo, our hobbies. Don’t we, dottore? Perhaps someday, we share, uh?
CRANE: Perhaps. If I – share your vision? As you say.
LUCENZO: (chuckles) Now, I am sorry – but I must leave.
CRANE: Well, we were really just getting started.
LUCENZO: Si, this I know. I will see you next week, yes?
CRANE: Uh, alright then – I suppose so.
LUCENZO: Bene. Grazie, dottore.
CRANE: Uh, prego. (small laugh) But, uh – I have one more thing before you go.
LUCENZO: Si. Prontamente.
CRANE: Who’s Professor Pyg?
LUCENZO: …
CRANE: Lucenzo?
LUCENZO: Hm? (speaks in Italian, leaves and close the door)
CRANE: Well, that wasn’t strange at all.
