Larkin: "I'm not going to try you now, deputy. You've shown too much savvy lately. Picked it up from me, most likely." *sighs* "First smart thing you've done yet." (edit) Newly: "I don't like the idea of you standing over me with a hot poker, Larkin." (edit) Larkin: eating "Escape son? Look I'd be missing all this.
