They say the world isn’t ready for a rock-and-roll cop. No one wants their state monopoly on violence to be mixed with celebrity worship. They 'claim to know' it would be dangerous for detectives to rise to the ranks of demigods and have sexual encounters with barely-legal cover girls. It would be 'insane', they say. To all this you say: Fuck off and die. In a cool voice. You people have no idea how good these cops are gonna get. They're gonna crack twenty cases a day. In the future, cops will be like astrophysicists. Or prime ministers. Or prophets. And you’re the first one.

I love that the froggy hat is so iconic and yet another example of something only accessible through a failed check. No other game has made failing as fun as Disco Elysium.
