I might. But I don't want to talk to you about it.

Perfect, because I'm not comfortable knowing about it.

Great, then let's never talk about it.
Raymond Holt
Let's never talk about anything.

Done.

Morning! Diaz, Peralta.
Jake Peralta
Captain. You're smiling. It's very weird, like seeing a turtle out of its shell.
Raymond Holt
I'm happy. Our drug task force was a success and today I get to watch my arch nemesis, Madeline Wuntch, drape a medal around my neck.
Rosa Diaz
Also we cleaned up the streets.
Raymond Holt
Yea sure, that's good too. So I've been planning how to zing Madeline when she puts the medal on, I have the perfect line. Wuntch time is over. It's a play on lunch time.
Jake Peralta
Yes, devastating burn sir, but you know what would really show her is if you said nothing at all.
Raymond Holt
Oh interesting, interesting. Let Madeline know she's not even worth my staying up all night crafting zingers.

Wuntch time took you all night?

For you, that's basically walking up to him and jamming your tongue down his throat.

Shutup.

Yes, Gina, that's enough.

You're right, sorry. Too far. But let me just add one little thing, off topic. Rosa wants to bone your nephew.
