"Now, let's think about this carefully before you answer the good Doctor's question, huh? We're both more than just pretty faces, trust me. We traced the origin of the misplaced sentience to this dimension, this Earth, this city. And if the suspicious behavior of that lovely receptionist downstairs means anything, it's that we're definitely in the right building."

Jack paused, just for dramatic effect, and regarded Balthazar again. "So, if you'd kindly drop the bullshit and tell us what we need to know, it'll save us a lot of trouble."
