And if you decide you don't wanna do it, that's fine. Just give it a try, see what Dr. Hoffman thinks. Beyond that, I won't force you to do anything.

[hostage]

Okay.

[5055034455]

...okay.

[Saul's getting the feeling Jesse doesn't want to hang up.

Maybe he's just projecting.]

When everything's worked out, I'm taking you on vacation.

[hostage]

Yeah. Sure.

[5055034455]

Seriously. Where do you wanna go?

[hostage]

As far as I can go.

[5055034455]

Okay, let's brainstorm. What's another planet we know of that isn't caught in the middle of some turmoil? What about, uh... oh! So, in Dune, there's this planet called Tupile. It's kinda like a sanctuary, meant to be secret. [In sing-song:] I bet they've got a beach or two.

[hostage]

[...Now it's puzzled silence.]

[5055034455]

What, you've never read that series?

[hostage]

Like, books?

[5055034455]

Yeah, like books. There was a movie, too.

[hostage]

I dunno. Never saw it.

[5055034455]

It was directed by that... uh. The guy. The Twin Peaks guy? Anyway, I'll get you a copy.

[Jesse might like it.

There's drugs!]

[hostage]

Uh... okay.
