But since both of you seem at least marginally interested, I'll work with you.

Even though you don't know anything.

No, by all means. If we're just going to tack together a bunch of guesswork bullshit then we might as well utilize all available hands.

[ . . . almost a laugh ]

All right. We're working towards a plausible lie, then.
