[Oh thank goodness he's talking about himself because Emori has no idea how to deal with so much attention on her. Yes, "so much" being one man. Shh.]

Because you punish people or is that why you punish people?

[bellare]

The second one. I destroyed the man responsible for killing my family, but there is so much justice left to be done.

text

[emori]

I'm sorry, Frank.

Would you rather be home so you can do that, or do you like it here?

text

[bellare]

[ is neither an option? he wants neither to be an option. ]

I agreed to come here. It remains to be seen if I'm needed.

text

[emori]

Maybe they need you to protect us.

text

[bellare]

I thought you didn't need me to protect you.

text

[emori]

What if-- I'll help you.

text

[bellare]

Are you saying we should be partners?

text

[emori]

We could be partners, sure.

text

[bellare]

That isn't something to take lightly, Emori. Partners have to have each other's backs, no matter what.

text

[emori]

If you want me to think about it, I will.
But I think I could do it. I could protect you back.

text

[bellare]

I'm not doubting you.
Think about it. Get back to me.

[She used to rob people in the desert while her brother pointed a rocket launcher at them. Her life could use a little justice.]

I'll think about it.

text

[bellare]

It's not just about you. I haven't worked with a team in a long time.

text

[emori]

I've never worked alone. It was always Otan and me or John and me. Then I found my family and we worked together during the whole... war thing.

When did you work on a team?

text

[bellare]

Also during the war. Overseas and at home.

[ and then ironically enough when he decided to hang up his hat - stop doing such dangerous work? that's when it all caught up to him. ]

Now I always work alone.

text

[emori]

Now you don't have to.

text

[bellare]

We'll see. I'm not the easiest person to work with.

[ he's betting she'll change her mind before long. ]

Re: text

[emori]

I've worked with John. I think I'll be fine.

Re: text

[bellare]

You have a point there.

Re: text

[emori]

I'm painfully intelligent.

Re: text

[bellare]

That explains why I have a headache now.

Re: text

[emori]

Are you saying you're stupid? Because you're not stupid.

Re: text

[bellare]

Thanks. I think.

Re: text

[emori]

You're welcome. I know.
