[Castor walks into the FBI observation room as Wanda and Buzz watch Pollux eating a gourmet meal, singing opera, and waving his utensils like a conductor]

Buzz:
Sir, we just wanted you to know....

Wanda:
We're all really sorry about Tito.

Castor Troy:
[sips his coffee] Oh, hey, sh*t happens, you know. So is our star witness talking?

Buzz:
Yeah, about what kind of mustard he likes on his tongue sandwiches.

Wanda:
That bomb is out there. We're almost out of time.

Castor Troy:
[bites his lip] Hmmm.... [A door flies open and Lazarro comes into the room]

Victor Lazarro:
Archer! [Castor turns to Lazarro] You made a deal with Pollux Troy. That isn't like you.

Castor Troy:
Well, when all else fails, fresh tactics! [winks at Lazarro]

Victor Lazarro:
Fresh? Let me tell you my fresh tactic: from now on, everything to do with this case goes through me, you understood?

Castor Troy:
Hmmm.

Victor Lazarro:
Good! Thanks.

[Lazarro leaves the office. Castor switches off the interrogation room video camera. Pollux rises as Castor comes in, chuckling]

Castor Troy:
[turns off the recorder] You're supposed to be snitching and making me look good!

Pollux Troy:
Look good?

Castor Troy:
Mmm-hmm. [Castor sits down on the edge of the table]

Pollux Troy:
Seeing that face on you makes me afraid my tiramisu might come back up.

Castor Troy:
Well think about me. This nose. This hair. This ridiculous chin. [sighs] Brother, we're going straight.

Pollux Troy:
Ooh, my goodness. Did you exchange brains as well?

Castor Troy:
The first thing I need you to "confess" to is the location of the bomb.

Pollux Troy:
What about our $10 million?

Castor Troy:
What about "when I become an American hero for defusing the bomb?" What's that worth? Know that, thank you! Next question!

[The two laugh. Castor grins and wags a finger in Pollux's face]

Castor Troy:
You're not the only one in the family with the brains.

Pollux Troy:
No. Although now I am the only one with the looks.

Castor Troy:
Touché.
