I'm not entirely sure I like the idea of going anywhere.

No chances I could persuade you into letting me gather dust on that shelf, like so many of the others?

Can't magic your way outta this one?

[phylacteries]

Is this one of your colloquialisms, or do you really think that I would do such a thing?

[gunnery]

Wouldn't — you?

[ UHHHHH ]

Okay, okay, Christ — I was just sayin'. What— can you do, then?

I JUST REALIZED HOW META THIS IS RE: THE BOURNE MOVIE

[ Huff! ]

You can— be. Diplomatic. Not all things must be resolved by brute force or magic. You can remain calm, and diligent, and— and punch them in the teeth if they refuse to listen.

LMFAOOOO I HAD NOT EVEN REGISTERED THAT

[ Hansel looks less and less enthused right up until she says punch them in the teeth, which, unsurprisingly, appeals to his sensibilities. ]

[ !!! :I :I :I :I :I ]

[gunnery]

Uh, yeah, 'course.

[ 8I ]

You mind if I leave the calm bits t' you?

[phylacteries]

Well, I wouldn't expect you to do things you're not very good at.

[ BEAT ]

Not to say you're not—I'm sure you have a perfectly good grasp of language.

[gunnery]

Not a great save. But I appreciate the thought.
