Patrick Kenzie

[Warden Filter, Plus Shego]

[Patrick is actually extremely pissed off. But, from his tone, he just sounds very calm and collected, and very, very serious.]

Alright. First, I'm pretty fuckin' pissed about being left out of the loop on all this bullshit until the eleventh hour, and second, I'm working things out with Shego. If anyone's got questions or concerns about my ability to do that properly? Bring it up. Because [OH THE SARCASM HERE.] as strange as it might seem to some people - [Nygma.] wardens can handle their own inmates.

We've got very few actual rules we try to live by here, and I always thought wardens at least could do what was best by their inmate, without interference of someone who thinks they can do the job better, especially when there's no evidence that the original warden is actually doing something wrong.

In leavin' me and Snape out of things and talkin' behind our backs, Nygma's been makin' it fuckin' hard to do our jobs, not to mention him harassing people, asking to violate people's privacy and bringin' up an issue which - last time I checked - had been more or less resolved. Shego is my responsibility. Mozenrath is Snape's. Not Nygma's. Period.

And until I have a good fuckin' reason to believe that any of them have lied to me? I'm backing them one hundred percent.

Also, just puttin' this out here - especially Howie or whoever else feels like runnin' this show, and yeah, I know you're listening too, Nygma - Nygma being Profit's interim warden? Really shouldn't happen. He's too personally involved, if his voracious "search for justice" shows us anything. There's standin' up for a friend, and refusin' to let an issue go after the facts have been presented.

[Warden Filter, Minus Nygma]

Okay. Serious question: Why the fuck is Nygma a warden?

You know, call me crazy guys, but I'm pretty sure callin' attention to all this is just gonna make it worse. I'm not sayin' we don't need to keep it all under wraps? But it's been my experience guys like this tend to cool off when you don't give the people who stahted it the reaction they're lookin' foah. So how about we go back to our regularly scheduled discussions of whatevah's on our minds and let the people involved sort the rest of it out? Sound good?

On that note, I've been told I've gotta keep talkin' about the Sox, to make sure you guys don' forget about 'em. As fah as pahtin' requests go, don' think that's gonna be all that outta the question to live up to.

Not like I knew Donowitz well oah anythin', but there's somethin' about being from Boston - oah places like it, I guess - that kinda gives you some kinda connection to everyone else who lives there. Especially Boston. More then a place like New Yawk oah somethin', sometimes, 'cause we're so caught up in our history and wheah we all come from. It's your city, your neighborhood... it's all tied into who you ah and how you got there. We almost stahted a fuckin' riot ovah people wantin' to knock down Fenway foah a new stadium 'cause it mattered to us. That's our ballpahk, that's our statehouse, and fuck anyone who wants to change it.

Wheah I'm from, people take pride in all that, all that history and wheah you grew up, even if it was a "bad neighborhood". You wear it like a medal of honor oah somethin', like you survived and you're still surviving. You're proud of where you came from.

And I'm not gonna lie and say my childhood was fuckin' perfect oah whatever, but that flood kinda got me thinkin' about if I coulda done things different, grown up in a different neighborhood oah city oah whatever, would I?

But even if growin' up in Dorchester wasn't exactly life in some quiet little suburbia wheah everyone runs around with no locks on their doors 'cause it's so safe oah somethin', it's wheah I'm from, you know? I love the place anyway.

And I'm definitely not sayin' Boston's all bad oah anythin' foah people who visit oah for the people who live there. We've got the Sox, the Garden, the Commons, like a thousand different colleges and universities... It's a hell of a lot nicer then New York - no offense to the rest of you oah anythin' - and it's really a beautiful city. I don't even have problems with Southie or Roxbury oah anythin'. It's a paht of it, just as much as anythin'.

I've lived on the same block my whole life, an' if I didn't make a deal, I'd still be there, with the same people I went to grade school with and whatever. And I don't have a problem with that. I'm proud of wheah I'm from and I wouldn't change it if I had a chance.

So, what about the rest of you? You wanna change wheah you grew up oah you love it anyway because it's yours?

Anyone else who just got here stahtin' to wonder what the fuck we really signed ourselves up foah?

[Private to Jason Todd]

Hey. I'm Patrick Kenzie, your new wahden. You wanna meet up and talk oah somethin'?
