i'm looking you in the eye right now

not saying i'd do it AGAIN though
itd depend on the context


[If it's between meeting sketchy people who are pissed off at you in parking lots at night or losing your lead, the answer's obvious.]

[But that last bit. I guess I don't have a say in it, do I? Jay's never been the greatest at getting into people's heads; he can watch, and he can guess, and that's about it. Long way from Sherlock Holmes.]

[But he thinks he recognizes that feeling. It's watching himself getting dragged along by Alex, knowing there's something wrong but being unable to change course. It's scrambling for every scrap of information totheark can dole out, every line of cryptic bullshit buried in layers of more cryptic bullshit, and being unable to tell whether the words will ever fit together, if they ever meant anything in the first place. It's the feeling that somebody else has already handed you the script, that you just have to keep stuttering through take after take until the director hears what he wants.]


maybe we let max decide
