#let eliot punish archie leach
quinn, desperately trying to make small talk during the last dam job: so uhhh that archie guy seems pretty cool at least, right, love the whole murder cane thing, need me one of those haha

quinn: or—okay, or not, or—
eliot, who has been on the brink of a 45 minute long rant for 3 days: no no let’s Talk About Archie
Nate pops his head in intending to grab his hitter to discuss an aspect of the con and finds the guest hitter sitting politely in his chair listening to Eliot’s full-on rant accompanied by a painstakingly crafted Powerpoint (Hardison asked him to learn how to operate the briefings–he needed a practice topic, OK?) on “Why Archie Leach is an Asshole Masquerading as a Nice Old Man and Should Be Punished” projected on the big screen. Nate quietly backs out and decides his question can wait.
Does Nate back out, or does he politely join the audience, nodding along at key points?
No way Nate can “just sit politely,” He would probably take over the rant/presentation
Youre so right… He INTENDS to sit politely, but then interrupts to clarify 20 seconds in. And then this very orderly PowerPoint devolves into two men just angrily talking over/interrupting one another in a furious rant. They both agree with the other but keep “and another thing-"ing and not letting the other finish.
Quinn is just sitting there, head back and forth like he’s watching a tennis match. Perhaps stealthily snacking.
Eliot: "Dammit, Nate! I will get to that!” *smashes remote button several times to get to the slide devoted to the point Nate just interrupted to make* “See?Nowas I was saying…” *backs up to slide he was on when Nate interrupted and resumes rant.*
(Sophie has by now slipped in to sit next to Quinn, nodding supportively at every successive point.)
