Look, if you're gonna send me somewhere, take your time and do it right. Go in with a plan.

Yeah, it'd be nice if you could find Natasha, but— you can't force it. You can't force her to do anything. And you're not gonna send me anywhere because you're crap at writing applications.

You know, most people would be happy to be on the shelf and avoid the crap.

[kneecaptain]

Oh, I am.

[bests]

You don't seem very upset by the possibility of being sent somewhere.

[kneecaptain]

Reverse psychology.

[bests]

I don't think that works if you're in someone else's head.

[sideshows]

I think you can do anythin' you put your mind to, B.

You're scary like that when you actually think logically about things.

[kneecaptain]

[Just give him a minute to be shocked, okay? The Tom he remembers is much larger.]

[ Oh, two can play at that game -- although being at a loss for how to address it, he's Evading the Issue. ]

Golly. You surprise easier than the Bucky I know! Bucky I know's a real hard-boiled character.

[kneecaptain]

I'm sure he is.

[sideshows]

He can be a real crumb sometimes, but he's my best pal.

[gevurah]

Don't they usually just wing it?

[kneecaptain]

Yeah? And how well does that work out for them?

[Not that Bucky's "plans" aren't perpetually stupid.]

[gevurah]

From my experience, surprisingly well.

[ Except Kate feels like a prisoner in both places. YAY ME... ]

[kneecaptain]

Guess my typist just prefers a bit of direction.

[gevurah]

Is she looking for something specific?

[natalia_romanova]

That is about the truest thing you've said in at least 40 years.

[kneecaptain]

I'm right a lot, you know.

[natalia_romanova]

Usually when you listen to me, anyway. [oh have all the smirking, have it. She loves the banter[

[kneecaptain]

When do I listen to you?

[natalia_romanova]

When you're smart, or don't feel like getting punched in the shoulder.

[batmanschmatman]

Asking them to control their impulses and plan ahead is like asking the sun to stop setting at night, you know.

[kneecaptain]

It's not a hard thing to ask. Just go to St. Petersburg.

[batmanschmatman]

I've got plenty of other metaphors lined up.

[kneecaptain]

My typist's not really the reckless type.

[batmanschmatman]

Then I guess you don't have anything to worry about.
