It's skirting some serious issues of laughable denial when Bruce speaks of the easy duplicity of communication when he's up to his neck in it at all times, particularly sitting across the table from someone who - unlike anyone else he's met in Baedal - sees through so many without any effort. Bruce still hasn't sorted out exactly why he's continuing to play along with this; he is rarely prone to morbid curiosity. Then again, he's never prone to taking white collar jobs while picking at fight clubs in nothing but jeans and a t-shirt, so maybe he's just ... blending in.

Unhelpfully: "Homophones."
