[Costigan appears on screen, frowning but seemingly less anxious and restless than usual.]

I forgot almost everyone here I know for over two weeks. [A beat.] I remember now.

[He doesn't mention that it hurt both physically and emotionally when that happened, or how he might have intentionally overdosed himself if not for Abigail's presence.]

Anyone ever find anything out about that?

You're right, but it didn't.

[And he chuckles again.]

Sorry, guy. [But not really.]

Whatever. I control access to the PASIV.

[Sort of a hollow threat - at this point, Costigan is the closest thing he has to a partner, and Arthur is way too used to working with a partner to be willing to go it alone.]

[lostundercover]

Yeah, you do.

[His expression shifts to one of amicable disapproval. Arthur's too grumpy and, coming from Costigan, that says a lot.]

What? [Don't look at him like that! That's the look he always gave to Cobb whenever he was clearly doing something he shouldn't have been.]

Nothing. You want to be in control? Good, you're in control.

I didn't think that needed to be established. [All right, whatever. Costigan just reminds Arthur way too much of Cobb sometimes.]

Then stop with the attitude.

[Hypocrite? No. Never.]

[aloadeddie]

And what the hell kind of attitude would that be? And how is it different from the one you carry around 100% of the time?

I'm paranoid as fuck. I know that. I also don't like people trying to put me in my place- or the place they think I should be in. You do a lot of that pissing contest bullshit. Relax, guy. Learn to take a joke. No one's challenging you.

[Arthur hates being called on his bullshit.]

Right, well I'll see you later then.

[They're too alike.]

Sure.

[And he disconnects.]
