[he snorts]

So I guess that makes Ed an admiral. Glad he got promoted. [he's not afraid of Izzy Hands. Even when they're close. Even with the man's hot breath in his face. What can he do? Kill him? Break him? He can't even kill him without Ed's say so

The words hurt. Of course they do. And they're right. Of course they are. He's pretty much fucked up everything but maybe he'll keep fucking up everything and the odds are that one day he'll get it right, because he can't afford not to. Not here.]

I don't care what you know. I don't care who you are. In fact I don't even think you have a plan, because you don't know this situation, do you? You don't know what's going on. You don't know what everyone's been through. You haven't watched them killing each other senselessly for fucking days.

[oh. that came out rather harsh. And he's rather close. Well it wasn't like there was much to go.

Still- there was one thing that was true, despite how pathetic he was or how much he fucked up or even Izzy was the King of England]

Anyway, I don't answer to you. I outrank you. [he tosses his hair out of his eyes] So when I need you or I just want to say hello, you can count on me stopping on by.

[and he turns and shows himself out, shutting the door behind him]
