What're you in the middle of?

Revenge. [ Doesn't miss a beat. Still chipper. ]

You, Detective?

Nothing that'd interest you, I reckon.

You're probably right. Try me anyway.

[ Excising all emotion from his voice: ] Dead prostitute. Missing children.

[ Flippantly. ] Yeah, you're right. I don't care.

[ Now with the full force of his contempt: ] Fuckin thought not.

[ LMAOOOOOO. Lalo is, unfortunately, not the least bit wounded by Rust's contempt. ]

My turn! Why do you care?

[ Carefully, as if the words are precious to him, but with some bite: ] "The body is not one member, but many; now are they many, but of one body."

Well, well. Aren't you full of surprises? Didn't take you for a religious man, Detective.

Avowedly not. You?

Not strict, but yeah. Catholic. [ Quickly crosses himself. ] More cultural than practicing, but sometimes I make it to church. You know how it goes!

I do.

What do you think's waiting for you, after you die?

Hell, amigo.

You think about what it's like?

I try not to! Rather just have a beer and not think about it. [ A pause; some of the levity leaves his voice. He doesn't sound scared so much as thoughtful, like he's considering the full weight of what he's acknowledging. ] Pero, si.* And you know what? Doesn't change anything. I've made my life what I wanted it to be, and I made it that way with my eyes open. I'm not afraid to go when I go, Detective. I'm just realistic about what's waiting for me.

Can you say the same?

*Translation: "But, yes."
