I need to talk with you. Do you have a minute?

[hostage]

Yeah. What's up?

[shifting]

I think we both know what I'm callin' about, Jesse.

...I wanna apologize.

[hostage]

[He didn't expect that.]

What?

[shifting]

I acted like an asshole. ...A really fuckin' violent and stupid asshole, which I swear isn't normally me. I could sit here and make excuses 'bout how I think there was some outside influence goin' on, but mostly - [siiiigh, he's getting too old for this] - mostly I just wanted to apologize for puttin' you out.

[hostage]

Nah, you don't gotta... You know, whatever. It's cool.

[shifting]

...So you're not gonna quit?

[hostage]

Quit?

[What, just because you beat someone half to death? Sam Merlotte, please.]

Nah, I ain't, uh... I ain't gonna quit.

[shifting]

...All right then. Glad to hear it.

[hostage]

So what was all that? That happen a lot, those "outside influences"?

[shifting]

No, hell no. I don't know what this was exactly. ...Few people made posts about actin' oddly, but I don't think anyone knows for sure.

[hostage]

Uh... Okay.

[shifting]

Yeah. ...So okay, I'll see you at work then.
