"Impossible! How…? He cheated. He must've!"

Alice didn't bother to look up from the book she was reading.

"There's no way he could've solved it!"

Her fingers turned the page and she continued to read.

"Cheating is against the rules, Dark Knight!"

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she snuck a (mildly annoyed) glance in the Riddler's direction; he was, at the moment, completely oblivious to her glare. "I know you're listening! And I've told you hundreds of times that cheating is against the rules!"

… No wonder Garfield wanted her to reconsider her choice.
