Derek: Who is Walter again?

Finn: He’s a former MI6.

Derek: When is it?

Finn: Tonight. I’ll meet you at the hangar and fly us to Canada.

Derek: Send me the information.

Finn: Is that a yes?

Derek: It’s an I’m thinking about it.

Finn: What’s stopping you?

Derek: I need to see what you got us into, plan for the days I’ll be absent, and figure out how I will tell my boss that I won’t be available.

Finn: Quit.

Derek: Great advice, but I won’t even consider it.

Finn: Please come with me.

Derek: I’ll do it because it’s simple. We have to recruit other details and train them.

Finn: So, will your woman let you come to play with me then?

Derek: I don’t have a woman.

Finn: Don’t lie to me, Derek.

Derek: Are you jealous?

Finn: No, I just want to know who I’m working with. We said no secrets.

Derek: I’m single and in love with a woman who lost her fiancé years ago. She refuses to grieve and move on.

Finn: That’s what you meant by emotionally unavailable.

Derek: Yes.

Finn: You’re fucked.

Derek: Most likely.

Derek: I’ll meet you at the hangar. We have to plan this better and maybe train together for a couple of weeks. I’m rusty.

Derek: I got a request for a job. Are you free next weekend?

Finn: What happened to I need time at home with my dog and non-girlfriend?

Derek: You sound jealous. Plus, she had a family emergency, and I’m staying with Halsey. A friend of hers was in a bad accident, and he’s in the hospital in critical condition.

Finn: If I had a girlfriend and a dog, I wouldn't give a shit about it. Sorry about her friend. I hope that it’s nothing serious.
