Then you'll both get your asses kicked. You were the one ranting about Teddy and you want to what? Start a feud. Let it go, Leonard. You're not getting names.

I don't have one. I'm forming one. Sorta. What's your long-term plan?

[catchacold]

I'm not starting a feud. You're underestimating me. Most people are.

I'll make enough money to get Mick, Lisa and Teddy a house, as soon as possible. Make sure the money looks legal enough. Space for you and Hartley too, I suppose.

I'll make sure the wrong people all know my name and not to cross me.

[trickedya]

It's just dangerous and there's no point in starting shit if it can be fixed that easy. He's just using this as an excuse to kick my ass because I wouldn't agree to get kinky with him so now I'm gonna get the money and beat him at his own game.

That'd be nice for you guys to like settle and stuff. Could get a place with a garden, I bet Teddy would like to play outside. He loves the park.

Like your dad. Everyone knows his name, no one likes to cross him.

[catchacold]

Just everyday job issues, gotcha. Tell me when you're in over your head, Axel. I mean it.

I'm looking for a place with a garden. It's a surprise for Mick, he thinks we'll get another apartment, but I know he'd rather have a house. Teddy would love it.

Yeah, only in his case it's because he's a murderous idiot. I'll be better than that.

[trickedya]

I'm always in over my head :D I just pull it off.

That's a cute idea. They deserve to live somewhere nice, he's a good dad. You don't always get dads like Mick.

I heard your dad was really cool. I don't think that's really true, he seems like a giant dick. Don't be like your dad.

[catchacold]

You don't, Axel. And one day you might not have the time to ask me for money. But whatever. I know you won't give me names, but you can give my name. Any time. You're with me.

No, you don't always get dads like Mick. I'm not like my dad. But people will learn respect anyway. You'll see.

[trickedya]

Why? Why am I with you? It's weird. You can't just assume someone is yours.

People learn respect when you hurt them. That's how you get it. Tormenting people and making them fear you.

[catchacold]

To answer both of that: You respect me.

[trickedya]

Who says?

[catchacold]

Don't you?

[trickedya]

I guessssssss.

[catchacold]

There we go.

You know I kill people too, if you need that to think someone's cool.

[trickedya]

How do you kill them?

[catchacold]

Quickly, cleanly and only with good reason.

Shoot them, usually.

[trickedya]

What does someone have to do to piss you off that much that you'd shoot them?

[catchacold]

Mess up during a job, trying to kill a cop or guard, wanting out in the middle of a job, not follow my instructions when I give them so we'll all come out clean...

[trickedya]

Pretty solid, sounds like you know what you're doing. Most mob bosses start off like that. Then they just kill everyone.

My dad likes bombs :D

[catchacold]

Your dad's not better than mine. You are better than that.

You should get your highschool diploma. You're smart. It'd be easy.

[trickedya]

My dad's great. He got in touch with me, he didn't have to do that. And now he writes to me all the time. He just started Breaking Bad, we're watching together.

Nah, pass. I don't want to.

[catchacold]

He'll want to use you, like my dad used me all my life.

[trickedya]

Or he'll get out on prison one day when those idiots realise they were wrong to imprison him and we'll totally hang out and do stuff. I never had a dad before, it's so cool! There's so much potential.

[catchacold]

No one else gets it.

You're my legacy.

You can only trust family.

You understand me, you are me.

Just like me when I was your age.

I'll teach you the family way.


Things my father likes to say.

[trickedya]

It's different.

Fuck off.

He loves me.

[catchacold]

No. He loves the idea of using you.

I care for you.

[trickedya]

You don't even know my dad.

I dunno why you do. You don't have to. I'm not a charity case.
