“You’d better listen here, Professah, and you’d better listen good!” She jabbed her finger into his chest, definitely harder than was strictly necessary. “I ain’t pitiful! I love my Puddin’ and my Puddin’ loves me, and that’s that! He’s not destroyin’ me—but if he were? That wouldn’t matter, ‘cause we’re in love! It’s not my problem if you don’t understand that!!”
She crossed her arms, standing up and turning to face Crane. The security guard looked—worried, perhaps, but not enough to restrain Harley, not yet. The Joker didn’t take kindly to other men putting bruises on his girl.
“I’m not some dumb, easily manipulated broad, either! I know what you’re trying to do, Professah, and I ain’t buyin’! My relationship with Mistah J is my business and his business and that’s that! No one else’s—not Red’s, not yours! Just me an’ Mistah J, and if you’ve gotta problem with that, you can get lost!!”
