[makeanentrance]

It always could be worse, huh?

[laserhawk]

Yeah. And I know worse well enough.

[makeanentrance]

I'd love to claim it can only get better but I know how things tend to pan out, at least for me. So I have to enjoy it while I can.

[laserhawk]

It's a good way to look at things.

[ healthier too. dolph's not quite there, but he tries to keep it in mind. ]

[makeanentrance]

You think so?

[He sounds surprised at that assessment.]

[laserhawk]

Yeah. I'm not that good at it myself.

But it's important. Not just in life, but to who you are.

[makeanentrance]

Take one day at a time and hold on to hope?

[laserhawk]

[ he nods. ]

One step at a time.

[makeanentrance]

And one film at a time.

We need to get this one done before... any more disasters.

[laserhawk]

We'll manage.

[makeanentrance]

Your confidence is appreciated.

[laserhawk]

[ he shrugs. ]

You're welcome?

[makeanentrance]

You're playing a very important role here. A film's backbone is its crew.

[laserhawk]

News to me.

[ he's seen enough film crews to know they're not treated well. not that he cares. ]

[makeanentrance]

Maybe I should have made that clearer when I hired you.

[laserhawk]

It's not like I asked.

And it's fine. I'll do the work.

[makeanentrance]

I know what it's like to do so much of the work and get none of the credit. I worked behind the scenes for years before I was blacklisted.

I want to make sure that you're not only doing your job but that you're happy in doing your job.

[laserhawk]

That . . . seems like a lot.

[ and baffling too. ]

[makeanentrance]

It can be a rough industry.

So can being a criminal. I hired criminals for my crew back home so we could all have a chance to do something better with our lives.

Do you want that too?

[laserhawk]

[ for the first time since this conversation started, dolph looks vaguely uncertain. ]

Dunno. I'm not sure what I want.

[ what he wanted fell apart. he hasn't had time to construct a new future. have new dreams. he wanted to do this with someone. with alex.

now he can't and he has to pick himself up again. it's hard. ]

[makeanentrance]

Well. One step at a time, yeah?

Do your job here and then the accolades will come.

[laserhawk]

You can keep that part.

I'm not interested in praise.

[makeanentrance]

Then what is it you want?

[laserhawk]

I told you. I don't know yet.

[makeanentrance]

You like being useful?
