Neuman and Hughie in “Unfinished Business”

Give me a bite.

Hughie

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You want the Valtrex before or after?

You love that bagel so much you're gonna fake herpes?

Hughie

I could have herpes. You don't think I could have herpes?

[smirks] How'd surveillance go with Termite last night?

Hughie

You know, I haven't checked in with Butcher yet, but… I'm sure it went fine. [pause; Neuman gives him a look of uncertainty] Don't–No, don't give me that face.

I'll bet you a crisp $100 bill something got fucked up.

Hughie

You don't know that.

[holds her hand out] Okay, take the bet.

Hughie

…I'm–I'm not gonna take the bet, but uh… [Neuman takes the bagel from him] Wow, really?

Mm-hmm.

Hughie

Okay, still, Butcher delivers every time.

And I have to apologize for him every time. Look, Butcher's the guy you want in a shooting war. No question. But we're in peacetime. [eats the bagel] Oh, my God. So worth the herpes.
