[FBI Interrogation Room, Dr. Sweets is interrogating Chef Paulo Romano, who served the victim ratburgers.]
Romano:
I got nothing to say without my lawyer present.
Sweets:
Mmm, mmm, well legal representation is your constitutional right, but, I'm telling you, the minute a lawyer gets here, I can't help you.
Romano:
Ha, ha. You say that, but you don't mean that––
Sweets:
...you served your divorce lawyer... a rat burger.
Romano:
Says you.
Sweets:
The ingredients, aside from the rat, forensically matched your kitchen.
Romano:
(Plays along, amused) What ingredients?
Sweets:
"What ingredients?" (Starts pulling out evidence from a box, identifying each one.) Curry paste. Corsican Sea Salt. Red Peppers. A fairly rare Russian Tarragon. Majorcan Capers. Red Poblano Chillies. Oh, this is the pan you used.
Romano:
All you're doing is convincing me I need a lawyer.
Sweets:
You prepared the rat. You didn't just dice it up and toss it into the pan. You treated it like a fine fillet. You really hated Richard Bartlett.
Romano:
Now that's a fact.
Sweets:
He was your divorce lawyer, wha––? You won!
Romano:
At first, I thought he was my savior... Then I got his bill. That bastard charged me so much, I would have been better off giving half to my wife.
Sweets:
So, you served him the burger as revenge.
Romano:
Every Tuesday night. For two years. With a year and a half to go.
Sweets:
Excuse me?
Romano:
He was gonna eat rat for as long as I was married. Three and one-half years. For poetical reasons.
Sweets:
He figured it out, somehow, called you to his office, threatened to sue you, take away your restaurant, and you killed him...?
Romano:
Ok, now your just being insulting.
Sweets:
Because I'm accusing you of murder?
Romano:
'Cause you're insulting my cooking! He loved that burger. You can check my emails. All Bartlett does is rave about that burger. Why would I kill him? Now, I never get the satisfaction of seeing that bastard's face, when he finds out that he had Rat, every Tuesday night.
