MAYALL: We don't market to gangs, Commissioner Gordon.

COMMISSIONER GORDON: No? Is that why you boast that your guns have a special finish that is "resistant to fingerprints"?

MAYALL: You misinterpret the intent of our ad, Commissioner. Body oils are corrosive and can mar the finish. We're only saying that's not a problem on our guns. Actually, you can get a latent print of some kind off most of our guns.

COMMISSIONER GORDON: That's not what the advertisement implies and you know it! Last year, over half the crimes committed in Gotham with assault weapons were with the Am Attack-80!

MAYALL: Criminals are NOT our target audience, although I'll admit I ENJOY the media attention we get. Why not? I can't afford big advertisements. Every time one of these stories go out my sales go up and that's what I'm interested in, what my stockholders are interested in -- sales going up. Under the circumstances, I take it you are morally opposed to using my guns in this gang deal?

COMMISSIONER GORDON: No. I can't afford to be.

MAYALL: We're pragmatic men, Commissioner. Both of us. I'm not a villain, Commissioner. This is a gun society. There is a demand that I supply. People want it. To paraphrase a competitor -- God created man but guns made them all equal.

COMMISSIONER GORDON: Really? And I thought it was the Constitution that did that.
