Hugo is mingling with the crowd at the Mayor's party. He has completely lost track of Ellen, but he doesn't care he got what he wanted access to the Mayor. Hugo is enjoying the attention. Taking pictures, signing autographs, enjoying the food and drink, and talking to the major power players in Gotham.
Eventually he gets to his goal of the evening: Mayor Grange.
Soon I will have the Mayor under my command and then this pathetic little burg will belong to me.
He and the Mayor are sharing a conversation about his position at the University and the Mayor's Daughter.
Hugo says, "Do you think I can come by and see you tomorrow it's about a couple of ideas I have for the city?"
Mayor Grange says, "Well I'm not sure I'm pretty busy tomorrow I..."
Hugo interupts, "You will see me..." just then he feels someone bump into him and he spills his drink.
"You clumsy fool! You..."
Just then Hugo turns and sees standing before him Oswald Cobblepot.
Hugo says, "Mr...Mr. Cobblepot I didn't know I..."
Oswald replies, "Hugo Strange? Oh good evening! I'm terribly sorry my apologies my good man!"
The two shake hands and Hugo feels a slight pinch in the palm of his hand.
Hugo trying to maintain his composure is shaken and says, "It's all-right Mr. Cobblepot."
Oswald takes his hand back and turns his attention to the Mayor.
He says, "Mayor Grange charming as always to see you Madame." as he gives her a peck on the check
She says, "Mr. Cobblepot so glad you were able to make it this evening. I was so hoping you could be here."
Oswald replies, "My dear friend Madelyn I wouldn't miss this for anything in the world. I was able to put a lot of things on the back burner as it were."
The Mayor asks, "Tell me the warehouse fire has that been resolved? I know that was a big issue for you."
Oswald replies, "Yes it has been resolved. I got the insurance money a week ago, but I decided to put the money back into my foundation. I have plenty of other business ventures to off set the loss. Not worried in the least I've already put it behind me."
A server comes by and offers Oswald a glass of Champagne. He takes it and says, "Thank you, but Mayor Grange this is not the time to be discussing my business or other issues such as that this is a party in honor of you and that is my focus of the evening."
She replies, "Of course Oswald again thank you for coming. If you'll excuse me I have other guests to see, but I hope we can talk again this evening."
Oswald replies, "As do I."
The Mayor begins to leave Hugo begins to follow her but two sizable gentlemen intervene and Hugo says, "Excuse me you want to get out of my way."
The two men hold their ground and Hugo says it again.
Hugo turns to Oswald and Oswald says, "That slight pinch you felt it was a tiny needle being pressed into your skin. The drug is a mixture of the secretions of the female African Humming Bird with a psychedelic compound. In about 10-15 minutes you're going to look like a falling down drunk. Then I'll play the role of Good Samaritan and take you away from here. When you wake up within two-three hours you and I will have a long overdue chat Hugo."
Hugo says, "How can you...I..."
His words are starting to slur and Oswald says, "You never really could handle your booze Hugo. If life is a party then the party is over for you. In more ways than one."
Hugo starts swaying back and forth and says loudly, "You disgusting slug. I'll kill you."
He then takes a swing at Oswald which Oswald side-steps with ease, but now Hugo is attracting attention.
People are murmuring and pointing and Oswald helps Hugo stand up. Oswald says, "Now now Hugo I think you've had enough fun for the evening."
He motions for his two associates and says quietly, "Take him to the lounge I'll be there within the next three hours. Make sure he's ready for our talk when he comes to."
The two men nod as they take him away. Oswald says, "Don't worry ladies and gentlemen my associates will take him to the Iceberg Lounge where he can sleep it off in my private suite. He'll be all-right in the mean time let us continue this evening's celebration."
He motions for the band to play on and everyone begins to resume their previous conversations. Oswald mingles about accepting the praise for being so compassionate to Hugo and doing what he can to keep the party going.
