FRED: Do you really think he'll come back?

GUNN: Measure twice, cut once. (tosses Fred a tranq gun)

FRED: Yeah, 'cause this worked so well the first time.

GUNN: Not your fault.

FRED: I should have had him.

GUNN: Fred, you got out of it alive, so—

FRED: Because he let me. Why not? All the little mouse could do was squeak at him.

GUNN: Then next time Minnie'll take a chunk out of his cheese. Look, if you really think you did something wrong, don't do it again. That simple.

FRED: (pointedly) Is it?

GUNN: Sometimes.

(turns away)

FRED: Don't. All we ever do is turn away.

GUNN: Fred, I—

FRED: I know. Whatever Wes was feeling, whatever he thought might— I should have told him it was never gonna happen. You think I don't know that?

GUNN: That's not what I was gonna say.

FRED: But it's what you think, isn't it? I'm sorry.

GUNN: It's not about that anymore. You know that.

FRED: All I know...is I miss you. Can't we just go back before any of this? I just want to go back, Charles. I just wanna... (they kiss)

GUNN: (looks away) I, uh... I should do a sweep.

FRED: Yeah.
