Even a scrap of progress is progress, right? It's best not to expect too much from Firo in this area.

"Yeah, yeah, all right." He takes a swig of his drink. "It'd help if people proved me wrong once in a while... But I think I get what you're sayin'."

Whether he was going to actually apply it to anything was another matter, but he preferred to cross that bridge when he came to it. Which was hopefully never.

Still, he has to admit that he owes Jack more than a little for the words--as well as the fact that he didn't just laugh and make fun of him. "Um, thank you. For all a' that."
