I want to know you, detective. Plainly. And I'm pretty damn sure I have a good picture of that, despite how tightly you hold back.
[He refills glasses, takes a drink.]
You're abrasive. Cutting. You use anger as a first line of defense, but that's only because you're hurt. I knew that before you told me.
But you're fiercely loyal. Caring. Stubborn as a fucking mule.
I don't need to know your traumas to know you, Arthur Lester. In fact, I'd rather you tell me only what you're comfortable with. I'm not your damn doctor, but I'd really like to be your friend.
