I'm not upset with you. Did you miss the whole thing I just said?!

[acceptabilities]

I allowed myself to be captured. I couldn't even protect myself, much less all of you. That's not being strong.

[solvabilities]

Steve, you can't allow yourself to be captured.

[acceptabilities]

I should have been more on my guard, but I wasn't.

[solvabilities]

Why are you being the unreasonable one? Stop it.

[acceptabilities]

[... inhales, and then sighs]

Bottom line, it's not your fault, Tony.

[solvabilities]

. . . Right.

[acceptabilities]

...

Let's go eat.

[solvabilities]

Okay.

[acceptabilities]

[just. going to lead the way]

[solvabilities]

[ after that, I guess we're finally sitting down to eat ]

[acceptabilities]

[finally]

[solvabilities]

[ eating quietly ]

[acceptabilities]

[... at least there's that. even if... this quiet is deafening and kind of. tense]

[solvabilities]

[ yeeep. ]

[acceptabilities]

[looks up]

... You should get some sleep after this.

[solvabilities]

Yeah. Whatever.

[acceptabilities]

Tony—

[solvabilities]

What?

[acceptabilities]

I'm sorry. I don't... [sighs, again] I don't know how to— I'm not good at this.

[solvabilities]

Not good at what?

[acceptabilities]

You're one of the smartest people I know, Tony. Hearing you say that you're not all that you are makes me angry at you. But I don't want to argue with you like this.

[solvabilities]

Then what do you propose, Cap?

[acceptabilities]

[just shakes his head]

I think we're both doing the same mistake. Just in different directions.

[solvabilities]

You don't make mistakes.
