I had high blood pressure long before I met you, Brown. Don't flatter yourself.

[He's not really kidding.

thx walt]

Someone has to do it.

[Because clearly no one else flatters her. Ever.]

[Saul never has!

Ever!

He clicks his tongue and rolls his eyes.]

Something wrong?

[She doesn't know how she's doing this, just... joking around in the face of everything. But it's always been easier with Saul.]

Are you in need of some flattering? Because I can totally help with that.

[STEPH DON'T ACCEPT HIS HELP.]

Maybe later, I'm sure the Initiative doesn't want you wasting your time pandering to my ego.

[SOMETIMES SHE CAN MAKE SMART DECISIONS....]

[SOMETIMES.

But not often.]

Mm, good point. Later, then.

I'll hold you to that.

[not often at all.]

[So now's a good time to just abruptly hang up, right?]

I know.

Of course you do.

[probably]

I'll see you later, Saul. Let me know when you get up there.

Aye aye, captain.

[She probably knows he's mock-saluting, even without the video feed.

And then he hangs up.]
