Nightshade: Hmm...
Vertigo: It seemed a bit, y'know, 'gray' when we shrunk it, so we had it dipped in silver to shine it up a bit.
Pink: I suppose... silver... is nice for people who must paint zey're flags on ze walls, but le tour has been covered in platinum! And of course, even shrunk down ze silhouette, she is recognizable everywhere.
Nightshade: Wow, this is tough! I thought just Roxy and Vertigo were going to go do something. Still, I guess I'll have to go with-*
Frankie: Excuse me. I also obtained a treasure.
Pink: eh?
Frankie: I couldn't think of everyone else getting you a gift and doing nothing except going to great lengths to steal the shrink-ray that they both needed to get their own jobs done. It's not here though, it's in your bedroom.
Nightshade: My bedroom? You're not going to have wrapped a bow somewhere on your concealed parts and expect me to consider that a gift, are you?
Frankie: Why would you think that?
Nightshade:...all right, let's go.
Nightshade: This. Is. Awesome!
Frankie: The girls were just so obsessed with shrinking things. Everyone knows it's more impressive to make something bigger.
Nightshade: Seriously? This diamond is so hot I want to have sex with you right now.
Frankie: Really?!
Nightshade: No.
Elsewhere:
Ash: ...so now she has two british henchmen and a scientist to go with her body-double, all tucked away in some evil lair on the other side of town with a porn shop/studio as a false front.
Saturn: Wow. Just one thing...
Saturn: You REALLY slept with Dr. Furter?
Ash: What, you never slept with something to get what you want? If I didn't, we wouldn't know what they're up to, now would we?
Saturn: I know, I know. But this is bad, Ash. Somehow getting rid of Beressa sped things up, not slowed them down. Nightshade was going to get Dr. Furter, Vertigo, and Roxy eventually, along with her lair, but she didn't really get started for a couple of years! With these thefts, now the world will sit up and take notice of her and more villains will flock to her!
Ash: Oh? Let's see what the news says about that.
Newscaster: ...and now our main story today, two incredible disappearances! Diane?
Newscaster: That's right! Late last night the Empire State Building disappeared. The President was quoted as saying "Why the fuck can't those terrorists leave our New York skyscrapers alone?" when he was awoken and told the news. The CIA has found evidence that indicates Al Quaida, and the Preisident has declared an emergency meeting of congress to expand Operation Enduring freedom into Iran.
Atlanta newscaster: We also have one of our reporters on-site in Paris, at the location of the other disappearance: The Eiffel Tower, which took place at around 4AM, only a few hours before the Empire State Building's disappearance. Tom?
Paris newscaster: Thanks, Anne. Paris has also reached the same conclusion that terrorists are to blame for this mysterious disappearance. However, they are not supporting the United States in their planned expansion into Iran, but are instead blaming it on the British. The details are still unclear, but it seems plain to everyone I've interviewed that it is in fact the British's fault.
Ash: I phoned in some anonymous tips last night. Why waste time looking for the culprit when you already have such a good scapegoat?
Ash: It seems to me that there must be some other force at work. I know Nightshade, and no videogame is going to turn her into someone competent. There must be someone else involved that Dr. Furter didn't know about.
Saturn: You may be right. Who could it be?
