Look, if you ever... need help with somethin', you can ask. Whether you think I owe you or not.

We're all stuck here. We gotta help each other out.

[Which god, that sounds ridiculous coming from him, but it's just the truth of their situation.]

[ Jesse flexes his hand, fingers curling in a gesture of fruitless frustration. Something Joel cannot see, for better or for worse. It dies away. ]

It doesn't matter. [ But, but. ] I might ask, though. Someday. You'd be a dick to say no.

[ Humor! ]

I've been called worse. [And some of it's even been true, so.]

Well, all right, anyway. Thanks. For not... takin' it out on Sarah.

[ Yeah, he can imagine the things Joel has been called. ]

I'd be a dick to do that.

[ He swings back, effortlessly, more honestly. There's more commentary he could add, tactless and stupid commentary, but he decides to be careful. Not to mention, Joel is actually being sincere.

God, that's almost more off-putting than the drive-by stabbing. He's so normal now, polite and measured. Offering help. ]

She seemed, uh, pretty scared. I ain't gonna make it worse on her, man.

[Jesse might be surprised at how many people would do exactly that, though.]

Well. Okay then. She's fine, she just... She's fine.
