[ steve starts listing the I know I'm nots and she shakes her head ] You don't have to be a journalist to know how to talk to people. And you know how to talk to people. That could get us answers quicker than me trying to find it the old fashioned way. [ the old fashioned way being.. snooping.

she seems confident in that, obviously already seeing this as a two-player effort. she doesn't expect him to want to dig through old network posts the same way she's find doing, but asking around... yeah. nancy can be a little brusk at times, when she's just trying to get to the point of a conversation, whereas steve's way more charming. all the time. without even trying. she can come up with a quick lie to get them in the door somewhere ( hello, nancy driscoll ) but after that it's all a little touch and go. she knows steve can find his footing in this.

but anyway, he gives her an answer about eleven and it's true, yeah. they should leave it up to her. ]

Chances are she might already be helping someone else with their hunt for answers. I feel like everyone here is just trying to find a way out.
