You think there's a way to diffuse that?
[She isn't sure if there is, but maybe Mike has something.]
Guys like him, it's usually ego, right? We just gotta find a way to appeal to that.

Oh, it's definitely ego. But I don't know how to appeal to him.
[or rather, he doesn't want to. Fuck that shit, let someone else do it]

[It was the same with her dad, but Steph never found herself in a situation where that was necessary. He hated her too much.]
I can think of a couple ways, but I'm not letting him anywhere near Skyler.

I don't think any of us are. He won't be too happy about that.
[but another thought occurs to him, and he sits up in his chair]
Do you have any bugs on him?

[He won't be, but it's not something she's willing to compromise on, not anymore.]
Not yet, I had a chance to get one on the other Walter, but I haven't been 'round this one, yet.
[At Saul's insistence. At the fact Steph's not sure she could see him and not just slit his damn throat.]
But I can get 'em on him easy enough.

[it's the first time since he's got here that he really missed all the gear he had. It would've come in handy for this]
If you get a chance, then do it. While the telepathy crap might come in handy, I want to make sure we've got everything we can on the guy. [no half-measures. He's made that mistake already - more than once. But not this time]

[Her's is better.
But luckily she's willing to share.]
I'll put it on my to-do list. Was that part of what you handled for Saul?
[Since he knew jack shit about it.]

[Since he knew jack shit about it.]
Part of it, yeah. [his coffee's cold by now, but he takes a drink anyway] And not just for him. I had bugs on Walter and Jesse at one point or another.
[She's barely even touched hers, or the apple, despite asking for it.
Maybe she'll get Donny to warm it up for her when he comes in; that's an appropriate use of his powers.]
You got any gear up here?
[She's gonna assume no.]

[he answers as if he's assuming Steph knows - if not, well . . . oops?]
Unfortunately, I had jack-all when Walter so kindly shot me.

[Guess what?
No one thought to tell her that little fact.
Which is probably obvious by the way her eyes widen, before she winces, dragging a hand over her face.]
Shit.
[That's... eloquent.]

[oh, for fuck's sake. Mike actually looks apologetic]
You'd think they'd tell you that little detail.

[She looks apologetic, too, when she moves her hand away from her face.]
Sometimes the important things seem to slip through the cracks. [Jesus.] I'm really sorry, Mike.

[he couldn't really blame Saul or Jesse not mentioning it. It's not like it came up in every day conversation.
He heaves a sigh]
It's fine. [he shoots her a wry look] But now you know why I'm biased in this whole thing.

[It's not fine, and she gets thinking about whether the Initiative can send people to other worlds, instead of sending them back to their deaths.]
I think we're all a bit biased. But, yeah, I get it.
[He has more right to want Walter dead than the rest of them.]

Remind me to threaten Saul later for not mentioning it.
[if anyone has a right to kill Walt it's Jesse, but hell if Mike would let the kid do it. He didn't need that]
[if anyone has a right to kill Walt it's Jesse, but hell if Mike would let the kid do it. He didn't need that]
[She's pretty sure having to kill Walter would break Jesse compeltely beyond repair, so...]
Just don't actually break him, okay? I like him in one piece.
[jo..kes...?]
Just don't actually break him, okay? I like him in one piece.
[jo..kes...?]
I'm only going to threaten him. Don't worry, he's used to it.
I'd point out that it loses effectiveness if you never follow through, but this is Saul we're talking about.
[she loves him, but he's kind of a coward.]
[she loves him, but he's kind of a coward.]
I don't need to follow through. My threats are enough.
[absolutely a coward]
[absolutely a coward]
Sometimes that's the fun part.
[Steph you enjoy violence too much.
She finally picks up the apple Mike brought her, taking a bite.]

I know. But only when it comes to certain people.
[because Mike's followed through on a lot of threats before. Saul's just fun to bully]

I'm shocked Saul doesn't count.
[lbr he's kind of annoying.]
[lbr he's kind of annoying.]
I don't break the legs of the guy who pays me.
[there is no denying that]
[there is no denying that]
[That gets a huff of a laugh, despite everything.]
I guess that's one way for him to keep himself safe.
