Roman Roy and Jeryd Mencken in “Unfinished Business”

Busy, busy. Hello, hello! Look at you! Losing it, like a massive fucking loser.

JMJeryd Mencken

Yeah. Well, I blame you. Couldn't deliver Connor, huh?

Whoops.

JMJeryd Mencken

ATN scared to run all the fraud?

Well, I keep my hands out, you know? Fuck you. What is this? 'Cause, you know, I'm quite busy.

JMJeryd Mencken

Oh, you're busy?

Yes, I am busy. I don't run around town like some fucking food-bike guy, you know?

JMJeryd Mencken

Yeah. Just, uh, wanted to say a couple things. [clears throat]

Yeah?

JMJeryd Mencken

Very directly. [sighs] We still think we can win.

Sure.

JMJeryd Mencken

But... I am very focused on losing.

[chuckles] All right.

JMJeryd Mencken

Winning is easy. Winning would take care of itself.

Sure.

JMJeryd Mencken

But if I lose... I need to work on what assholes would call "the narrative."

Uh-huh. Uh, like uh, "insurgent campaign, unfairly maligned as extremist by the coastal masturbation factories."

JMJeryd Mencken

Exactly. If I lose, I want it correctly characterized as a huge victory. Over-performed, huh?

Mm-hmm.

JMJeryd Mencken

I want to be the president. I want you to... be a partner in that, and if it isn't tonight, it will be next time.

Even if you're not going to be the president, you're going to be our president.

JMJeryd Mencken

Exactly. You, me, we'll go far.

Over the road and into the bar.
