[Really? A walkie-talkie? Luckily for all involved, Harley knows exactly how these work thanks to years of overhearing police radios and watching a little movie called Smokey and the Bandit.]

Breaker! Breaker! Eggs and baker!

This is Burt Reynold's Moustache comin' in with a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and requestin' a 10-20 on myself. We got some sorta 10-15, 5150 situation goin' on with a negatory on 420-69. Is this a good kidnappin' or a bad kidnappin'? I repeat, good kidnap-slash-bad kidnap-question mark.

Smooches. Seacrest out! Over!

[ He laughs. ] Oh? Tell me. What circumstances are those? [ For Lalo, the truth is: he is a bad person. He makes bad decisions, fully aware they're bad decisions, and he will have to pay for them someday. He understands all of that. There's no point in running from what you are. He doesn't mind indulging her, though. Besides, maybe she's right. Perhaps, unlike Lalo, she truly is nothing more than a helpless victim of circumstance. He kinda doubts that, but who knows! He will reserve judgment until he hears the story. ]

[ And hey... NOW you're talkin' his language! Lalo loves The Godfather and he loves his family. He's happy to indulge her impression, too, giving her a cheerful: ] Aaaay! That's pretty good. Let me try! [ Clears his throat. ]

"You never go against the family." Ehhhh? What do you think? [ It's pretty good, if we're being honest, but you'll never catch him saying it's better than hers! That'd be rude. ]

"Follow the love," huh? [ He sounds amused although he does spare a very faint blush and a sideways glance at the detective, shifting his position slightly to conceal his nervousness. Does he truly love The Detective? No, of course not, but... still. It's close enough to make him want to squirm, just a little.

Anyway, it's a sweet thought. He's glad she's following her bliss. ] Good luck, Miss. I hope you find all the love you're looking for. [ He does mean that! ]

Hey! Let's try another movie. [ In his best husky sexy voice: ] "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

[ An impression, Lalo thinks, likely much better suited to her than to him. ]

In the past I maayyyyy have followed the love down the wrong path. Many times. With the wrong guy. Former patient. [There's potential for the subject to get sadder than she'd like, especially considering she just found herself a fellow bastion of cheer. She pivots a little.] But this time is different 'cause I now I got a new guy who treats me right. And doesn't steal my lipstick. I hope you find somethin' like that too, Benny. Unless the lipstick part doesn't fit then just skip that.

[She devolves into giggles at the impressions.] Bee-you-ti-ful! I wish this hunk of electronic junk had video, 'cause I bet I'd get the full effect.
