LITERALLY.

Kinda the premise.

Oh don't go through the trouble on my account, there's going to be plenty to trouble with already.

I will take your very polite objections into account.

I'm sure you will.

I have this great 'discredited' section set up.

I'll remember this. That all my opinions go into discredited.

Oohh, STRAIGHT to hyperbole. I see we're on.

I suppose so, since you did start it.

I have never done anything wrong in my whole life, including that.

You say that, but there are three officers in the same precinct that may disagree.

Okay. ONE mistake.

Exception proves the rule, though.

I'm just saying, sometimes it's healthy to admit mistakes.

I am pretty sure admitting that mistake is the reason for my last three citations, just saying.

Oh, you actually did get citations? I never knew.

The first was loitering. At the station. Where I was getting chewed out.

I mean, I deserved it but also I didn't?

You really did, though.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree there, boss.

You know you can't really keep calling me that. I'm about to not be your boss anymore.

I mean, I'm going to put it out there that you're definitely not my boss now.

Up to you.

...Think I prefer us being friends to you being my subordinate.

Yeah? You got it. I'm also entirely down with that.

Good. [He clasps a firm hand to Tim's shoulder. That feels better. Feels more right.]

Also, I um.

[He does... grab a small, flat gift to hand to him.]

I hope it's all right.

For me?

.... All of you. All of you are menaces.

[He takes the package with... a bit of wonder?]

Of course for you.

[It's a thin box. And inside that? A simple, kind looking picture frame and a properly restored photo of Tim and Danny, before... All of it.]

[His hands shake a little as they wrap around the frame. He spends a few moments just... looking at it, trying not to be choked up.

And absolutely failing.]

... God, he always did look dumb from the left.

... In his defense, you look a little dumb from the left too.
