Mmh.

[After a pause-]

Tell me if you're running low.

[bcpd]

Me? I have a fridge full of food.

What do you have?

[newpest]

Enough.

[bcpd]

Uh-huh. So how much is enough?

[newpest]

How much have you got in your fridge?

[bcpd]

Come over, you can look.

[newpest]

Yeah, I'll pass.

[bcpd]

Kovacs...

[newpest]

What.

[bcpd]

[ There's a bristling pause. ]

What do you think?

[newpest]

With you? I really don't fucking know.

[bcpd]

Oh, take a fucking guess.

[newpest]

Kristin, I got more important shit to be doing than this right now.

[Like sleeping.]

[bcpd]

[ And yet. ]

It wasn't personal, okay? I needed an example.

[newpest]

Believe me, I know how impersonal it was.

[bcpd]

And you know there was a reason. A good reason.

[newpest]

It's always a good reason to you. I can always count on that.

[bcpd]

What do you want to hear, Kovacs? That you're right, it was a waste of time?

[newpest]

Oh, for fuck's sake. This shit again? Call me when you have something worth hearing.

[bcpd]

Fuck you, Kovacs. At least I'm trying to do something here.

[newpest]

What's the fucking point! What does that even look like in a place like this? We're rats in a maze. Not very big ones, either.

[bcpd]

We're rats in a maze watching other rats tear each other apart. You think there's no point now? Do nothing except wait three months. It's not going to get any better.

[newpest]

And if I did shit? It doesn't get better that way either. Special advice straight from your local terrorist.

[bcpd]

It's better than sitting around and shrugging every time there's a sleeve death.

[ They aren't sleeved the same way here - so what, it's not important.

Kristin takes a breath, trying to figure out how to get to where she's trying to go. She doesn't actually want to fight with Kovacs; she's just not all that good at stopping. ]

If I could take it back, I would.

[newpest]

What part?
