But unlike before, all those years ago in that deadbeat canyon, Tucker's grown to anticipate and be patient. Church's temper tantrums are nothing compared to the shitshow he's been dealing with. The Honedge he's been with gives a little whrrr? noise like it's expecting Tucker to do something but he merely shrugs. He knows this game. Wait it out.

And then Church calls back and Tucker's grinning despite himself. Predictable.]

But if it makes you feel any better, yes, everything is bullshit.
