[Gene smirks, a sardonic, cruel twist to his features.] Of course I'm going to do something stupid. I'd just rather not be caught unprepared when it happens. It'll be less stupid if I know what I'm doing.
[His expression sours a little at Tony's concern.] So you trust me, but you don't trust me with the rings, is that it? Sounds like you don't really trust me at all.
[Oh my God that is not even what he said. But nope, it's playing out, to Gene, like he'd feared it would - Tony refusing him, and not trusting him, and everything being for naught.]
"don't do anything stupid" um excuse who do you think you're talking to here
