    don't worry the DE subreddit has you covered

    an even better final panel:
    de-drama DRAMA [Heroic: Success] -- You should inquire how long this dough nut shop has existed. Perhaps you'll catch one in the act when their little stories don't add up. They could be lying to you, Sire.
    de-authority AUTHORITY -- And when you catch them in the act, you will be the one in control
    de-drama DRAMA -- "How long has this place been around?" the question feels good as it rolls off the tongue, it's casual, unsuspecting, but can easily find holes in their donut shop worker story they're trying to cook up. Holes like the donuts they are trying to sell you.
    de-volition VOLITION -- See how this new question feels good as it rolls off tongue? Sometimes to make small talk you need to ask a variety of things, and you're getting better at it. You will reach these people. and you can make connections.

    OFF CAMERA CLERK -- "For about four years."

    de-logic LOGIC -- It seems all their stories add up. All of the dough nut shop workers you questioned have been working after the shop was founded.
    de-drama DRAMA [Easy: Success] -- But you didn't ask this clerk how long he has been working here, sire. Perhaps he is the one who is lying to you.
    de-rhetoric RHETORIC -- Please, don't.

    YOU -- "For about four years? Okay. How long you been here?"

    de-rhetoric RHETORIC -- You didn't even try this time. You have one more shot at this.

    OFF CAMERA CLERK -- "Uh, a little over six months"

    de-logic LOGIC -- Oh no.
    de-drama DRAMA -- Oh no.
    de-authority AUTHORITY -- Oh no.
    de-rhetoric RHETORIC -- Oh no.

    1.- "Okay. Good."
