[A pause, mostly so his eyes can roll out of his head. Bye eyes. It gives Jeff the chance to think briefly before snapping back a bitchy retort, at least. Friends are good, arguments are healthy, but hugging it out is even better.]
Okay, so clearly this isn't just about working for me. You got some problem here. What's up, Mike? They replace you back home?
[There's a pause on his end, too. How dare Jeff ignore a perfectly good threat. How. Dare. Barely audible foot stomp for good measure. And then stillness.]
I'm not lying to you. And even if I was you wouldn't know because I'm an exceptional liar. [So smug.]
The kid's more interested in how the TV show works. I want him behind the scenes of that, not stuck threatening and intimidating any that get too close.
[All the sads. But apparently there's no convincing him right now. Maybe Mike just needs some time to cool off and not be such a totally mature toddler.]
Yeah, okay. I'll speak to you later. It's good to have you back.

Sure did.

I'm not replacing you, Mike. The kid was just doing this as a favor for my sorry ass. I still need you.

Bull. Think I'm gonna fall for your lies.

Well, guess you better hope Will's got a dangerous kid to lend you to do all the threatenin' and intimidatin', then!
[Sulky and dumb is such an unfortunate combination.]
no subject
Or you could come back and do that for me.

[Time to get super drunk and hope Walt White doesn't have a power that lets him murder people through the communicators...]

Yeah, okay. I'll speak to you later. It's good to have you back.
