XFausto: Bastard chair's listing to one side again. Saint's tears, I wish I had the doles for new legs.
Riley: If you don't mind my asking....
Fausto: Lost 'em in a crash. I had a load for the Army depot at Dugmore, and some trou d'cul (son of a bitch) had mined the landing pad.
Riley: Aren't they required to pay your medical when it's in the line?
Fausto: Ah, but I wasn't on duty. I took a friend's shift. Not on the roster, no medical, tu vois (you see)?
Riley: ...even for the army, that's cold. You know, a decent lawyer could have field day in court with that.
Fausto: Couldn't afford it, mon ami (my friend).
Riley: I suppose most lawyers would charge you an arm and a leg.
Fausto: Could be. But I know that's what the Army charges for crossing them. What limbs they've left me I mean to keep.

In Ketterdam, money is not king. Money is God. God doesn't love people like Kaz Brekker -- but Kaz knows how to bring the God of Ketterdam to heel. All it needs is one impossible heist.
