[A laugh sounds over the feed. God...'frustrating'. That's like saying the Grand Canyon's a hole in the ground. You know...if he knew what the Grand Canyon was.]

Like he'll see it that way. To him? I'm just the one telling him what to do!

[Which he is, but only because that's what keeps Tetsuo alive.]

..You think so, huh. You'd put money on that one?

[A hint of amusement. Funny. He never really thought about it with Tetsuo, if he'd get shot by him. Somehow, he didn't hesitate to say yes inside his head.]

If I had any to put on it, I would. All I got of value right now is a pack of cookies an' you bet I'd lay those down on it.

[ He matches the amusement with his own -- brief and fleeting. ]

Think the thing you don't see is that he sees a lot more than you give him credit for. He's stubborn, ain't gonna budge too easily from his stance on things, an' he'll fight you all the way. But he sees it. He sees it all. What you're doin'. Maybe he don't acknowledge it, maybe he even lies to himself 'bout it. But I know deep down, he sees the truth.

[Oh my god Rick, you're actually making him laugh. It's just as quick and fleeting as the statement itself, soon to die down as he catches his breath.]

You really believe that, don't you?

Hope you're right, because I want more than a bag of damn cookies if you're wrong.

[Look, he can't even say that without another laugh.]
