Of course! I promise to bring as many as you can eat to all our conjugal visits.

[Pretty sure the visits will be of the non-conjugal variety, as exciting as the tumultuous, strenuous life of marriage to a hardened criminal would be. But maybe Elphelt can get the inevitable prison sentence cut down if she plays the role of a distressed wife, unsure of how to raise their child (Zwei) all on her own...?

Or maybe she can hide a chisel and crowbar in the cookies.

Either way, she knows she will have to think of a way to keep Ruby from suffering the full extent of the law, no matter how she may deserve it. Think about it. Ruby is too sweet, innocent, pure--prison will eat her alive! She'll get gang tattoos, shank a guy, and have a 6 o'clock shadow at all times. Elphelt cannot allow that.

For now, though...]

I believe in you, Ruby. You can do this. I'll be right there beside you as moral support.

[And to grab her when Ruby invariably has second thoughts.]

[ Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), Ruby doesn't know what a conjugal visit is, only that it means cookies and that's all that matters to her, really. Whatever comes, she can at least look forward to that...she'll have Elphelt's support, as well as that of her all her friends and family!

Assuming they can still look her in the eye after learning about what she's done... ]

Alright. It's going to be okay...I know it will!

[ She just has to keep this positive attitude, all throughout her years of eventual prison! ]

[The support of everyone who doesn't disown her for committing such a heinous act. Elphelt is sure most of them will still accept her. She gives Weiss a 50/50, though.]

That's the attitude. The truth will set you free. [Uh.] Metaphorically. The truth here is liable to get you locked--that isn't important! I'm sure they will go easy on you.

[The gears are turning. Something clicks.]

--Wait, wait, wait, hold up. You threatened to kill me over a balloon? That's seriously messed up! Maybe they'll just throw the book at you.
