Horratio Ballard

: "Well, this is certainly a unique location for business such as this but, before I take my leave for a much more important meeting - it would be remiss of me not to remind you four of something very important. Dare I say, well it would be simply cruel.
So, briefly. You should know that the four of you - five technically, though one is beyond my reach now - have a ledger with me. Perhaps you were unaware. I shall remind you of two instances. The first, an unfortunate Second Inquisition raid, upon I believe this very club. Did you know you were spotted? Being hauled out of the building by a SWAT team. Did you know, that footage was taken of you, from the crowd? That footage is gone now, you're welcome.
Second incident (shuffles documents) ah yes, the incident on the L track. Your faces were captured on closed circuit television. Very unfortunate, to be seen so close to a disaster such that. That footage is gone now. You're welcome.
Many resources were spent to see these dilemmas disappeared. I wont insult your intelligence by saying I did it for you, no, I did it for the Camarilla. But I still did it.
That means you have a ledger with me. Two notches."

Ace: "I have a question. So you said we have two notches?"

HB: "Indeed."

Ace: "You didn't do it for us, you did it for the Camarilla?"

HB: "Yes."

Ace: "So, what this coterie did - when we found out who took out the Sheriff of Chicago and caused an explosion, we did it for the Camarilla, right? Taking out Samson, which would have been a big mess - we did that for the Camarilla as well."

Jack: "Had our actions, which resulted in Elyse's and my faces caught on CCTV camera, not been taken - it would have been, a much greater expenditure of resources on your part. In that instance, in the very least."

Ace: "So we saved you money, did we not?"

HB: "(smiles) Do you have the paperwork to prove exactly how much money you saved me?"

Elyse: "To be honest, I didn't think - naively, I see now - we needed to keep track of that --"

HB: "Life is full of lessons young ones!"
